We decided to try our favorite turkey burgers in the slow cooker and the result was amazing. These awesome cheesy sandwiches may just be our new favorite go-to meal.
We love having burgers in the summer, but sometimes there just isn’t time to grill up our favorite meal.

Tips on making slow cooker turkey burger joes:
- This recipe is easy to double if you need to feed more people or want to freeze half for another night.
- If you love a quick cleanup, you may also consider using a slow cooker liner or spraying your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- If you don’t love velveeta cheese, try this homemade cheesy sauce instead:
2 Tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 cup 2 percent (or higher fat) milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk, adding it slowly, until the mixture just comes to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and stir until smooth and cheese is melted.
Pour this cheese sauce over the top of the ground turkey when you add it to the slow cooker and you will be good to go!

You can cook ground beef or ground turkey in the slow cooker!
This looks (and sounds) so good! I will definitely be making this recipe sometime very, very soon this summer!
I made this for my little family tonight and they loved it!! My fiance had 3 of them!
Can you do this with regular cheese shredded, NOT velveeta? Or no cheese at all?
Thanks!
You can use whatever cheese you prefer. We like this recipe with velveeta.
The non Velveeta sauce, does not have cheese in the ingredients list, but references the cheese melting. What kind of cheese? How much?
It calls for 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese if you are not using the Velveeta version of this recipe.
