I just put this in my crockpot and it already smells good. But how in the world are you supposed to get the butter mixture to stick to the turkey thighs? Maybe it was because my hands were warm and the turkey was cold, but I ended up with butter on pretty much everything except the thighs. A little better explanation of that part of the recipe would be very helpful.
