- Season turkey with salt and pepper, place skin side up in the slow cooker, cover and cook 5 to 7 hours on low, or until the turkey reaches 165 degrees with an instant-read thermometer
- Transfer turkey to a cutting board tent loosely with foil and let it rest 20 minutes.
- Let braising liquid settle for 5 minutes, then remove the fat from the surface using a large spoon or a gravy fat separator.
- Strain braising liquid into saucepan, discard celery, bay leaves and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Discard the skin and carve the turkey and serve with gravy.
