Yes, I plan to make my entire Thanksgiving Dinner in Slow Cookers. You see I will be having a spinal cord patch the day before Thanksgiving, so this way I can have everything cut up and ready on Tuesday, with detailed instructions for my husband, and we will be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner fit for company.
And that's good since we will be having a guest for dinner. : )
So in one pot will go the Turkey Breast. (actually, I keep changing my mind about this, we may cook it on a cedar plank on the grill and have smoked turkey)
Also on the menu is GF Stuffing (or I guess it should be called dressing, since it's not going to be in the bird).
Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts with onions, Roasted Green Beans with garlic, and Cheese Cake. Not from a slow cooker we will have Cheese Biscuits from Whole Foods Bakehouse, and Mashed Potatoes, (these will also be bought, I thought it just too much trouble for my husband to attempt.)
Do, do you want the recipes now? Or do you want me to wait until I've tried everything out before posting them?
I will say, my stuffing will be the same as it has been the past couple of years, but I will be doing it in the crock pot like Stephanie did hers on A Year of Slow Cooking.
The cheese cake will come from Stephanie's A Year of Slow Cooking.
The cranberry sauce will be from Elena's Pantry. But I will be adapting it to the slow cooker, and I know from last year I will be adding more Agave than she called for in the original recipe.
The Brussels Sprouts - I will use 2-3 cups of Brussels Sprouts, coat them in about 3 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Also I will thinly cut up red onion and put in the bottom of the slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients and cook for high for 2-3 hours.
I haven't decided exactly how I'm doing the green beans yet.
And as I said earlier, I'm not exactly sure about the Turkey either.
So I guess I gave you most of the recipes anyway. There will be some adaptation to some so they can be make in a slow cooker, but I don't see any problems.
What are serving for a GF Thanksgiving Dinner?

Wow, great idea! I am thinking about making my stuffing and cranberry sauce in the slow cooker, as well as cooking my pumpkins for pumpkin cheesecake.
Good luck with the spinal patch! Hope you are still able to have an enjoyable Thanksgiving :)
