How to Cook a Butterball Boneless Turkey

1. If you don't already have one on hand, make a trip to the grocery store for a Butterball boneless turkey. These are generally found in the frozen meat section.
2. Thaw the turkey either by placing it into the refrigerator overnight, by placing it into hot water for about one and one-half hours or by using the defrost cycle on your microwave or oven.
3. Remove the turkey from its outer wrapping. However, let it stay inside it's string wrapping, as this will hold the meat in place while it cooks.
4. Set up the crock pot and set the temperature on low.
5. Place one-half cup of water in the bottom of the crock pot.
6. Season the turkey with one tablespoon of Morton's Natural Seasoning and one-half tablespoon of Season-All, as well as any other seasonings that you desire.
7. Place the seasoned turkey into the crock pot.
8. Pour one can of cream of chicken soup over the turkey.
9. Pour one-half cup of water on top of everything and then close the crock pot tightly.
10. Cook the turkey for between four and six hours, depending upon the size of the turkey. Check it regularly until it is done. If it gets done too quickly, then set the crock pot on warm until you are ready to serve it.
11. Take the turkey out of the crock pot and slice it into slices between one-quarter and one-half inch in width. Place on a plate for serving.
12. Serve the natural sauce from the turkey as is, or use it as the base to make your own gravy with either milk and flour or corn starch and water.
