Instructions: Rinse the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the turkey. Season the turkey generously with salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Place the quartered onion and minced garlic inside the cavity of the turkey. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seasoned turkey into the slow cooker, breast side up.
