    Cup of Yum
  1. Add ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the bottom of the slow cooker.

  3. Top with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  4. Cook on low for 7 hours.
  5. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  6. 30 minutes before turkey is finished cooking, start working on sweet potatoes.
  7. Add salt (to taste, I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper (to taste, I use 1/4 teaspoon), canola oil and 3 tablespoons brown sugar to sweet potatoes and combine.
  8. Spread sweet potatoes on a baking pan and roast in oven for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove turkey from the slow cooker.
  10. Pour the liquid left behind in the slow cooker into a measuring cup and remove as much of the fat as you can.
  11. Melt the butter into a saucepan on medium high heat and combine with 2 tablespoons of flour.
  12. Whisk and let cook on medium for one minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  13. Add in the rest of the turkey liquid and let it cook until thickened, approximately 3-5 minutes.

  15. Remove sweet potatoes and top with additional 3 tablespoons brown sugar.
