Crock Pot Turkey Breast

This was great. I started with partially frozen turkey breast. I had to use my Nesco roaster because the turkey wouldn't fit in my crock pot. We had the turkey for dinner- made gravy out of the drippings and I have a big bag of turkey that I am going to chop up and put into freezer bags. I did add some chicken broth because I wanted to make sure there would be plenty of drippings for gravy.

I bought a frozen turkey breast on sale that I had planned to thaw and b-b-que but our plans changed and I'm so glad they did! I've never had a turkey breast come out so moist and with so much flavor. I did add some chicken broth since I wasn't going to be home until late and my crock pot runs hot. Now I have some delicious broth to freeze with some of the leftover turkey. I'm going back to the store and see if the breasts are still on sale. Thank you so much for posting this fantastic and easy way to cook a turkey breast.

I just couldn't wait to submit this review, and I'd give you 10* if I could. This was one highly successful experiment! I was really intrigued that you included directions for a frozen breast, because I always seem to have one hanging out in the freezer (I forget to thaw it of course). I plunged gamely ahead. My crockpot is too small of course, but no matter. I oiled the outside, and also salted & peppered the outside (instead of under the skin, which was, of course, frozen to the breast). Added the garlic & onion. Discovered that the lid wouldn't go on, so I wrapped the top in foil, tucking it down between the crock & the outside, and perched the lid on top. I let it go about 10 hours on low, because I was a bit lazy about making the fixings. The result? A beautifully cooked turkey, moist, tender, and infused with a lovely hint of onion & garlic. Bonus - I got a fair amount of yummy stock. Thank you so, so much for this recipe. Now I won't be afraid to buy those sale turkey breasts any longer. A million thank yous!!!!

I am just delighted to have this new and sublimely easy way to cook turkey. I followed the directions to the letter and it is perfect, including the gravy that I made from the drippings. I will never buy deli turkey again. I cooked the defrosted breast on low for five hours and it was done to perfection. Another bonus, you can wrap it in foil and place back in the crockpot (uncovered) if you want to keep it warm. This is a real winner. Thanks.
