Ingredients

  • 2-4 lbs turkey tenderloins or breasts (thawed)
  • 3 jars turkey gravy (Heinz Turkey Gravy (or your favorite))
  • 2 tbsp poultry seasoning (about; brand Pit Boss)
  • 2-3 tbsp ground sage
  • 1 tbsp ground thyme
  • salt and pepper
  • Texas toast
  • paprika (for garnish)
  • potatoes (to make mashed potatoes)
  • butter (to make mashed potatoes)
  • milk or cream (to make mashed potatoes)

Method

  1. 1

    Place the thawed tenderloins in the Crockpot on low (6-8 hour setting).

  2. 2

    Cover with the 3 jars of gravy.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle with the poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Cover and check at the 2 hour and 4 hour marks.

  5. 5

    About 4-5 hours in, it should be starting to fall apart; now you can start the potatoes.

    Once mashed potatoes are made, set aside; toast and butter enough Texas toast slices to feed as many as you’re serving.

  7. 7

    Once the turkey is shredding easily with a fork, it’s time to eat. (usually no more than 6 hours total depending on your Crockpot)

  8. 8

    Place a piece of toast on a plate; pile on the warm mashed potatoes; and cover with a big ladle of the turkey and gravy.
