Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Herb-Seasoned Turkey Legs.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for your delicious slow-cooked turkey legs.

Rinse the turkey legs thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Generously season each leg with a blend of poultry seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Take a sheet of aluminum foil and wrap each turkey leg snugly, making sure there are no openings to keep the moisture in.

Place the tightly wrapped turkey legs into your slow cooker, leaving out any additional liquids or ingredients, and cover it with the lid.
Step 6
Set your slow cooker to the Low setting and let it work its magic for 7 to 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and the juices run clear, with an instant-read thermometer registering at least 165°F (74°C) near the bone.

Once cooked to perfection, carefully lift the turkey legs from the slow cooker and allow them to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
