Step 1

Combine 1/4 cup flour, poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.

Step 2

Rub the melted butter all over the turkey, then rub the flour mixture all over the turkey. Pop it in your slow cooker.

Step 3

Combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour with the chicken broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, parsley and the bay leaves in another bowl.

Step 4

Arrange the onion, carrots and potatoes over and around the turkey.

Step 5

Pour the chicken broth mixture over and around the turkey, cover up your slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.

Step 6

Take the turkey out and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing (you can also pull it apart into bite sized pieces the way we do – if you decide to do it that way, you don’t have to wait).  Return the turkey to the slow cooker and gently toss until everything is mixed well.

Step 7

Divide among plates or soup bowls and serve, passing warmed gravy on the side.
