Subject: [CnD] Turkey breast
Crockpot Turkey or chickn breast
list of 12 items
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups no-salt added or low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 tablespoon dried
2 bay leaves
6-8 pound bone-in skin-on turkey breast
Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS
list of 7 items
1. In a large, nonstick skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the
onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the onion
is
translucent and the vegetables are lightly browned.
2. Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until the flour coating the
veggies turns golden. Whisk in 1 cup of the broth, working to smooth out any
lumps as it cooks and thickens. Stir in the remaining broth and water. Add
the thyme and bay leaves.
3. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker. Season the turkey breast all over
with salt and pepper (see the note above about how much salt to use). Place
the turkey in the slow cooker (breast side down). Cover and cook on low for
5-7 hours until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165
degrees.
4. Carefully transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board (or 9X13-inch pan
to catch any juices), tent with foil and let rest while preparing the gravy.
5. Strain the liquid in the slow cooker into a saucepan. Let it settle for 5
minutes or so and then skim the fat from the surface. Bring the gravy to a
simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often, until it is slightly
thickened. It won't be as thick as traditional gravy but will be silky and
slightly
thick. If you'd like it thicker, simply whisk together a slurry of
cornstarch and cold water (a tablespoon or so of cornstarch in a couple
tablespoons
of water) and stir the slurry into the gravy, simmering for 2-3 minutes.
6. Season the gravy with any additional salt and pepper, if needed.
7. Carve the turkey and serve with the warm gravy.

How long should I cook turkey breast in the slow cooker? Should I cook it
in broth, gravy, or what kind of liquid?
