Ever slow cook a turkey??

[Berserker]

I got a roaster oven for christmas. I was thinking about slow cooking a turkey. Due to the time I can usually only cook turkey on the weekend otherwise I am eating pretty late.
The conversion in the manual puts a 10lb bird around 7 hrs. I need to do around 10. Instead of buying a bigger bird figured just let it cook.
Anyone try it?

Is it just me or has no one ever wanted cook a turkey for 10 hours? Well I am going to do it tomorrow. Also considered putting it in forzen and seeing what happened. That we will be nexts month turkey experimet. I can only eat some much turkey.
My new goal is a turkey a month.

Thats a lot of turkey. No, I have never wanted to cook a turkey for 10 hours. Call me strange, weird, etc. but it just doesnt appeal to me. Heck, cooking for 30 minutes is enough!

I can never say no to a turkey fried in peanut oil. Best way to cook turkey.

(not talking about the healthiest though)

Why do you need to cook for 10hours?

I assume there is no temp setting otherwise you could just lower the temp a bit and let her roast for 10.

my mom is a physician and doesn't have time to prepare meals for my younger brothers. She calls herself the crockpot queen...and has boiled a turkey many a time. They actually turn out all right.

i just cut the turkey into slices and slap it onto a non stick pan, using no oil may make the taste a little bit blah, but hey watch on the fat/calories.

thaw it first.

trust me.

incidentally if you just put it in your oven i bet ya it would be less than 10 hours.

[furrukh]

Ofcourse i thaw it first, afterall worked as a part time chef during summer, but yeah u're right mate

[Tryska]

oh i didn't mean you furrukh - i meant berserker. altho i'd love to see his frozen turkey at 10 hours experiment. *lol*

golden on the outside, rock solid near the bone!

[furrukh]

10 hours! either he's on a strict diet, like one turkey in 10 hours or he needs to test his oven, No offence just kidding

[Tryska]

no i agree - why use a special roaster to roast a turkey for 10 hours when you can put it in the regular oven, follow the instructions on the label, and roast it for probably around 5.

[ericg]

If my guess is right - I think he wants to cook it while he is at work so when he gets home he can eat it with out much work.

Just read this. Exactly what I want.
