Crock Pot Turkey Breast And Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place vegetables in a 6- or 7-qt. slow cooker; top with turkey. Rub turkey with seasoning mixture., Cook, covered, on low 5-6 hours or until a thermometer inserted in turkey reads at least 170°. Remove from slow cooker; let stand, covered, 15 minutes before slicing., Meanwhile, strain cooking juices into a small saucepan. Mix flour and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with turkey.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and celery in the hot butter until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes; remove from heat.
• Place a plastic slow cooker liner into a 6-quart slow cooker. Place dry bread stuffing into the liner bag and sprinkle contents of seasoning packet over the bread. Stir cooked onions and celery, cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup melted butter, chicken broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the dressing mix, taking care not to pierce the bag.
• Rinse turkey breast and pat dry with paper towels; season turkey breast with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Push the dressing mixture to the edge of the cooker and lay the turkey breast into the slow cooker with the pop-up timer facing upward.
• Cook on High until the pop-up timer in the turkey breast pops, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Transfer turkey breast to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Transfer dressing to a serving bowl and serve alongside turkey.

Steps:

• Place onion and celery in cavity of turkey breast.
• Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper and place in 5 to 6 quart slow cooker.
• Pour broth over turkey, cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.
• Remove turkey to serving platter, cover with foil to keep warm while making gravy.
• Place liquid in saucepan after straining out veggies, and add 1 to 2 cans chicken broth- depending on how much gravy you want to make.
• In a covered jar, shake together the flour mixed with about 1/2 to 1 cup of water until smooth- or you can whisk it in a bowl.
• When liquid comes to a boil, slowly stir in flour mixture, adding just enough to thicken it to your liking.
• Cook until it bubbles and thickens, stirring often.

Steps:

• Remove skin if desired, and brine turkey the night before. (I used a mixture of water and apple juice to total 1 gallon, with 1 cup kosher salt, 1 cup of brown sugar, peppercorns, rosemary, dried thyme, cloves, bay leaves, allspice, garlic and sliced onion--but use any brine you like).
• Rinse turkey thoroughly and pat dry.
• Rub with olive oil, followed by seasonings and spices.
• Place carrots, onion and celery in bottom of slow cooker.
• Place turkey on top of vegetables.
• Add enough stock to cover vegetables.
• Cook on high 1 hour, and low until done, 3-6 hours depending on your slow cooker (mine cooks fast and too hot) and size of turkey (mine was 5 lbs). I checked the temperature after 3 1/2 hours and it was done at 165 degrees, but I kept it on warm until dinner since it was done much earlier than I expected.
• Remove turkey and let rest while you make gravy.
• To make gravy, measure 2 cups of broth from the slow cooker. Even though you only added about a cup or so of stock, the turkey and veg. make more juice. Careful, it's hot! I turned off my cooker about a half hour earlier so it wouldn't be as scalding.
• Melt butter over med. heat and whisk in flour for 2-3 minute to make a blonde roux.
• Slowly add stock while constantly stirring until desired consistency reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste, but taste it first because mine needed no salt.
