Count me as one of those cooks who has never prepared a turkey.

I’m talking about the whole bird process – the buying, the thawing, the stuffing, the roasting and the timing in order to get a Thanksgiving meal on a table at a specified time.

And maybe I never will.

Because for this month’s Tossed & Found segment, I pulled out a recipe for Slow Cooker Turkey and Dressing that I clipped from Jane Henegar’s weekly “Fare Exchange” in the Times Free Press last November.

It’s a world changer.
