If you have a small crowd for Thanksgiving, cooking a turkey breast in the crockpot is a great option. |
Even though I'm posting this when everyone's thinking about Thanksgiving Recipes, truly this is a recipe that's easy enough for any time of year. I'm not sure why I never made a turkey breast in the crockpot before, but after Dianne did it, Alanna did it, and Stephanie did it, I just had to try it too. Completely delicious results with moist and flavorful turkey, and it gave me a chance to experiment with making gluten-free and South Beach Diet friendly turkey gravy using arrowroot starch, which was also a winner. If you don't manage to plan ahead and end up having to get a turkey at the last minute when there's no time to thaw (you know who you are!) this could also be a good option for Thanksgiving Day. In fact, if you cook your turkey using this method, there are enough crockpot Thanksgiving recipes to make the entire Thanksgiving dinner in the crockpot this year. (Okay, not the rolls, but still it's something to think about!)
