These delicious crock pot Thanksgiving recipes make it easy to prepare the big meal before the big day so that you can enjoy your family and friends and not slave away in the kitchen!

20 Crock Pot Thanksgiving RecipesThanksgiving can be similar to planning a wedding. There’s so much planning and work that goes into wedding planning, and then its over in the blink of an eye. Very much like Thanksgiving. You clean the house, make multiple trips to the store (because inevitably you forgot something. Or is that just me?) and then the cooking marathon begins. Then everyone eats and it’s over (except for the cleanup… ugh!).

I don’t know about you, but I like the traditions surrounding the holidays and the opportunity to be with family, with a little football thrown in the mix. That’s why I love the idea of these fix and forget it slow cooker Thanksgiving recipes. The prep can be done before the family and friend time begins, then poof! It’s ready to eat! You can still enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving fare without trying to MacGyver how everything will fit in the oven and what goes in and comes out when (I have yet to master that).

So are you ready to rally the troops (or more specifically, their crock pots) and knock these Thanksgiving recipes out before the party gets started?! Oh, and check out these other Thanksgiving hacks if you’re hosting!

PRE-GAME (a.k.a Breakfast)

Usually in my family we eat in the late afternoon or early evening, so it’s nice to have breakfast to prevent a starvation based gorge-fest at dinner time! These recipes are perfect for popping in the slow cooker the night before and waking up to some fuel for the big day ahead.

THE MAIN EVENT (a.k.a. The Turkey!)

Easy Crock Pot Turkey

Turkey in the slow cooker?! Yeah, that’s what I said. But how delicious does this look?! And although the bird is the star of the Thanksgiving meal, it’s often the most problematic… its overcooked. It’s not cooked enough but everything else is ready, and you know where else this can go…

    The Crock Pot Cranberry Pecan Stuffing looks so good. My husband & I used to have 2 large crock pots but, we only have one now, because when we moved into the rental house we’re in now, some one broke in & stole a bunch of stuff including one of our crock pots.
