List of ingredients for Roasting a turkey in a slow cooker


* 1.6kg [1lb 8oz] Turkey leg (separated)
* 6 rashers of streaky Bacon
* 1 large Onion, unpeeled and cut into two halves
* 5 Cloves of garlic, unpeeled and smashed under the flat of a knife
* Large pinch of Freshly ground black pepper
* Large bunch of Fresh herbs. (Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, etc). I also added the remains of a bunch of Dill
* Olive oil

===Method===
* Loosely scrunch up 5 or 6 balls of Baking Foil and place in the base of the Slow cooker
* Arrange the Onion halves where they will provide the best support for the Turkey leg
* Distribute the smashed Garlic in the base of the Cooker and make a bed with your Fresh herbs
* Make up 500 ml ( almost a pint) of Chicken stock and pour this into the base of the Cooker
* Lay the Turkey leg on the bed of Herbs and drizzle with a little Olive oil and sprinkle with the Black pepper
* Lay the rashers of streaky Bacon over the leg
* Loosely cover with a sheet of Baking Foil
* Pop the lid on and slow cook on low for 10 hours
* You could prepare this the night before and set the Slow cooker on a timer if you wanted to have this in the middle of the day
* Discard the bacon rashers as they will now be tasteless, all their flavour has gone into the turkey and the stock.
* Use the Stock as Gravy, thickening it with a tablespoon of gravy granules or few teaspoons of Cornflour if needed
* Carve and serve!
