My Crockpot Turkey à la King Recipe
This is an fuss-free Turkey à la King recipe made in a crockpot for a group of 12 or more people. The key is to prepare everything ahead of time.

Make the à la King sauce (recipe below) by combining the ingredients for the sauce and adding the turkey to your crockpot and letting it simmer on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours. It can be served on patty shells or on white rice. Easy, creamy, delicious and fuss-free.
