Ingredients

• Boneless skinless turkey breasts
• Boxed stuffing mix – Use your favorite variety.
• Cream of chicken soup
• Sour cream
• Chicken stock

Substitutions

• Soup – You can swap cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup for the cream of chicken soup.
• Chicken stock – If you happen to have homemade turkey stock on hand, you can use that instead. Vegetable broth will work too, but I wouldn’t use beef broth because the flavor is a little too rich.

How to Make Slow Cooker Turkey and Stuffing Casserole

1. Prepare

Spray the insert of your crockpot with cooking spray.

2. Add the Turkey

Place the turkey breasts on the bottom of the crockpot and season them with salt and pepper.

3. Make the Stuffing Layer

Combine the soup, sour cream, and stock in a large bowl, then fold in the stuffing mix. Spread this on top of the turkey.

4. Cook

Cover the crockpot and cook the Turkey and Stuffing Casserole on High for 4 hours.

Hint: Chicken stock isn’t the same as chicken broth; chicken broth is seasoned with salt, while stock isn’t. If you use broth, you may want to skip adding salt to the turkey so your casserole doesn’t turn out salty.

Variations

• Gluten-Free – Use a gluten-free stuffing mix.
• Cheesy – To top the casserole with cheese, sprinkle about a cup of shredded cheddar over the top of the casserole once it’s done cooking, then place the cover back on until it melts.
• Veggie-Packed – If you like your stuffing packed with veggies, you can sauté diced celery, onions, and carrots with butter and fold that into the sauce with the stuffing.
