[CnD] "Turkey Breast of Wonder"
Here is a recipe my daughter found somewhere on line. I have made it once; the flavor is wonderful, but if you follow the timing directions you end up with turkey that won't slice, but falls apart into very small pieces. I don't' think you need to go all the way to 180 degrees. Here is the recipe as written: "Ingredients 1 (5-6 pound) turkey breast 1/2 C orange juice (you could also substitute chicken broth) 1 (14 ounce) can whole cranberry sauce 1 (1 ounce) package Lipton Onion Soup Mix salt and pepper Make sure your turkey is completely thawed. I let mine hang out in the fridge for a couple of days after I purchase it frozen. Set it on a pan, so you don't have juices running all over when you open up the bag. Cut a hole in the top of the bag and remove the packaging. Some turkey breasts come with a gravy pouch inside, be sure to remove it if yours happens to come with one. Place the old bird in the crock pot. Pour yourself 1/2 cup of orange juice. Add one can whole berry Cranberry sauce and one package Lipton Onion Soup mix. Mix the ingredients together and pour them over the top of the bird. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the top. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8-9 hours, or until a meat thermometer stuck into the center of the bird reads 180 degrees. You can see I got mine a bit past 180. Don't like, turn me into the poultry police or anything, ok? It still turned out wonderful, juicy and moist." The c combination of flavors in the sauce is very good, though.

Re: [CnD] "Turkey Breast of Wonder"
According to the information I used to pass the food handler's license in 2009, turkey is safe at an internal temperature of 165, although it may have changed since then, but probably not by much. I would think that 180 is far too high. --- Be positive!

Re: [CnD] Crock pot turkey breast
Hi Mary, I cook turkey breasts in my crock pot all year round. That way we have great sandwhich filling available for the week. I have done it several ways, and there are recipes all over the internet as well. Sometimes I make a "rack" of sliced onion and celery stalks that become the bottom layer in the crock pot, then, salt and pepper the turkey, add rosemary and sage if you like or a halved lemon, cover the turkey, top and bottom, with olive oil, salt and pepper liberally and add a cup -- or a little less -- of white wine, water, or broth to the crock. Then, I cook on high for an hour and low for 3-4 more. I have also done essentially the same thing but, rather than slathering on the olive oil, I melt a half stick of butter in the microwave, add a quarter to a third of a cup of soy sauce, pour over the turkey and then rinse out the measuring cup with water adding that to the crock. Enjoy!

Re: [CnD] "Turkey Breast of Wonder"
I just passed the Serve Safe test last year and the appropriate temp for turkey is 165 degrees.
