• Rinse the thyme and rosmary. Get about 1-2 stems from each and tear the leaves off and mince; set aside. In a medium size bowl: add softened butter, fresh thyme & rosemary, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• [If using a frozen turkey; thaw in the refrigerator 48-72 hours prior to use.] Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours prior to cooking. Remove turkey neck, giblets and package; reserve for giblet gravy or discard if you prefer. Clean, rinse and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
• Use one hand to loosen and lift the turkey breast skin. Using about half the butter mixture, coat/smother the breast rubbing under the skin. Stuff the onion, lemon and the rest of the herbs, including stems (thyme & rosemary) into the turkey's cavity. Then rub the rest of the butter over the outer layer of the turkey's skin. Tie the legs together.
• Place garlic cloves in the bottom of the slow cooker. Then place the turkey on top of the garlic. Throw in the carrots and celery.
• Cover with the lid. Slow cook on low for 8 hours or cook on high for 4 hours.
• Carefully remove the turkey from the slow cooker and place on a rack with a baking sheet. Broil for 10 minutes in the oven or until lightly golden brown. Make sure to keep an eye on the turkey while in the oven (broiler).

Gravy

• Use a fine mesh and strain the liquid; discard the vegetables and fat (optional). You should have about 2 cups of turkey liquid from the slow cooker. Add 2 cups of chicken broth to the liquid. Set aside until ready to use.
• Heat the sauce pan to medium-high. Melt the butter then add flour as you whisk. Slowly add the broth, whisk until smooth. Add thyme and Worcestershire sauce as you continue to whisk. Turn down the heat to medium and let simmer for 7-10 minutes or until desired consistency. Optional add 1 tsp soy sauce to darken the gravy. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve & enjoy!
