- Add the carrots and celery to the slow cooker pot and pour over the onion mixture. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or until the turkey is falling off the bone. Remove the turkey from the pot, discard any bones and break the turkey into pieces before returning to the slow cooker pot along with the green parts of the leeks.
