OK I was told you can do this but not sure how. I was thinking of having a chicken for thanks giving this weekend.(canada) and well its just family. I would love to do a turkey but not for 4 people. We have a nice big Crock pot that I gave my cousin for her engagement/wedding and I have been told I can use it. And if you can do this how do you brown it. Any help or suggestions would help. My cousin is looking for lots of good recipes for a vegitarian. no beans or onions it seems her new hubby is allergic. that she can do in this nice new crock pot she just loves the thing.
