We ended up making crock pot turkey breast (bone-in), had it last night. This turkey recipe is about the simplest I have ever seen, and turned out moist and fantastic.
Ingredients
One fresh turkey breast (mine was Butterball, about four pounds I think.)
Half stick of butter (grease the crock and then melt the rest in microwave.
One envelope of Lipton dry onion soup mix
Directions
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Coat it with melted butter all over, then rub with the dry onion soup mix (put some under the skin, too.)
Optional: Peel and cut a few carrots and onions, put into bottom of crock.
Put turkey into crock breast down, and add 1/4 cup water or chicken broth.
Cook on high for an hour, reduce to low heat setting and continue cooking about four more hours. During last two hours, you can turn the breast onto one side, then the other side if desired.
Check to see when meat looks done and is starting to come away from the bones. Either switch to Warm setting for a while, or remove turkey from pot to a plate and cover with foil until ready to eat. (Use slotted spoon to remove optional vegs from juice to a serving bowl). Pour the juice (broth) into a measuring cup and drizzle a little on top of turkey as a thin gravy and/or use the juice for recipes.
Plenty for leftovers, sandwiches, enchiladas, quesadillas, pot pies, etc. We had it last night with roasted asparagus and a casserole dish of Pepperidge Farm stuffing (could use Stove Top.) Making pot pies with puff pastry this week (Parade Magazine recipe.)
