I felt mortified after even though everyone said it probably wasnt even the turkey!

More likely it was the veggie produce, lettuce, spinach, sprouts and tomatoes have been problems.
One bacteria issue I heard about with turkeys is putting the stuffing in the bird. Cheeb can correct me here... but I think it was that it's difficult to get the heat high enough on the turkey juice-contaminated stuffing inside the turkey cavity. If you do put stuffing in the bird, re-bake the stuffing separately to 165' internal temp.
Not many folks crock-pot chicken anyway. Not like there's poor cuts of chicken to soften in a crock-pot, like you do with beef.

You definitely wanna give lamb a go in the crockpot too.

Are there best ways to cook lamb? I may have had it once.
