With the holidays coming up, I thought I would tell you a simple way to cook a turkey breast in the crock-pot. This is a great time of year to pick up turkey breasts for a great price and here is a quick and easy way to cook them.
Serve this Turkey breast along side some homemade mashed potatoes, chicken and noodles, with some 30 minute whole wheat rolls! YUM!

Turkey Breast in the Crock-Pot
Turkey breast
1 stick of butter
2 tsp. rosemary
2 tsp. sage
olive oil
2 cans chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 onion (yellow or white)
First, remove the neck, gizzards, and gravy packet from the turkey, if included. Rinse your turkey breast inside and out. Pat dry. Rub olive oil all over the turkey breast. Turn on your crock-pot to high. Spray the inside of the crock-pot with cooking spray and then put the breast inside the crock pot with the breast side down.

| Place it breast side down. |
Pour in the cans of chicken broth. Sprinkle the breast with all your spices. Place the stick of butter in the cavity and then peel off a few layers of onions and place on and in the breast.
 |
| Seasoned and ready to cook. |
Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours. Remove, slice and enjoy!

I had no idea you could do this! I love a good crock pot recipe!
ReplyDeleteMarianne, thank you!
DeleteI don't think there is too much you can't do in a crockpot. We lover our crockpot and have used it countless times for many great meals. I must say this is the first time I've seen a Turkey go in. Thanks for sharing this. Mr.CBB
ReplyDeleteMr. CBB, Yes, I love cooking in the crock-pot also. I cook in ours at least 3 times a week.
DeleteThanks for stopping by,

Would like an idea of how big a turkey breast to buy for this. Afraid the lid might go on it !
DeleteLove this idea! Thanks for sharing at The Gathering Spot this week. I shared this on my Facebook page :)

DeleteI do a chicken in the crock pot, I don't know why I never thought of doing a turkey.
ReplyDeleteVanessa, I think the same thing all the time when I am scanning Pinterest or other blogs. Why didn't I think of it? :-)

It is always a pleasure to participate in your share days.
DeleteDo you thaw the turkey breast or keep it frozen?
ReplyDeleteYou can do it either way. If it is frozen, it will take a few more hours to cook is all.
DeleteHi, Marilyn. It really depends on the size of your crockpot. I generally just eye ball it. Sorry but next time I make one, I'll update this post and say exactly what size of breast I bought and the size of crockpot I use. Sorry for not doing it the first time.
ReplyDeleteDoes the breast brown nicely in the Crockpot?
ReplyDeleteLeah, yes, it sure does. Thanks for dropping by!
