Turkey Breast in the Slow Cooker

 

Turkey Breast in the Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  • 4-6 lb turkey breast
  • 2 cups white wine*
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • handful of parsley (optional)
  • 1-2 celery stalks, halved
  • salt and pepper, to taste
*apple juice or chicken broth can be used in place of wine.

Instructions
  1. Wash and pat dry turkey breast.
  2. Sprinkle well with salt and pepper.
  3. Place breast side down in cooker.
  4. Add onion, parsley, celery, and butter into cavity.
  5. Pour wine over top of breast.
  6. Cook 4-6 hours on high or 7-9 on low (internal temp should read 170 on meat thermometer)


The turkey is moist and flavorful!    Also, you can add any seasonings to your turkey that you like.  For serving, remove the skin, and the meat comes off the bones so easily!  


The flavor that the wine gave, is very good, but as noted in the recipe, you could easily substitute another liquid.  
(The alcohol cooks out of the wine.)  Get excited that you have discovered such an easy way to prepare turkey!!
