we have a few delis here that roast their turkey breast in house and then i get it sliced......so delicious. i buy that once a week or so.

i only make a whole turkey maybe twice a year.......a turkey breast maybe twice a year......the full fixings with them.

turkey sandwich.......wheat toast, a good mayo (hellmanns or dukes), red and juicy tomatoes (campari this time of the year), sea salt, freshly ground pepper......sometimes crispy bacon also.

I actually am going to do a turkey breast in the crock pot either tomorrow or Monday....it's been in the freezer for awhile!

I eat turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas (usually at a relative's home).  I cook a breast a couple times a year.  Serve with a box of Stove Top, some veggies and a can of cranberries.  I make soup with the leftover meat.

@alicedee OH!  MY!!!  You poor thing!  I hope they send you home with some!  I'd go nuts!!!

@ECBG Yeah, wherever I'm eating, they always send me home with leftovers!  They take good care of me!

@cookie16 I follow the recipe on the Jenny-O turkey breast wrapper.   When I get it out of the freezer I will check back and and write it down if you still need it!

It's simple...I think it's just put a little water in the crockpot and cut some slits in the cooking bag it is in once you remove the wrapper.  Then cook for 4-5 hours.

But I will get the exact directions for you tomorrow.

Whole one - Thanksgiving only. Might have shredded turkey sandwiches a few times a year.

Once a year - and that's plenty. I'm not a fan of the taste, except for maybe smoked turkey breast occasionally. On the other hand, I love dressing, gravy and cranberries, although I don't need a turkey for those yummy dishes!

Love the mashed potatoes and dressing - others can have the turkey.

I buy sliced turkey from the Deli Dept.  occasionally.

[kittyloo]

never, if i have a say in it.  we don't do turkey for thanksgiving anymore either. doesn't help our little town is overrun  with flocks of big wild turkeys. blech.

I do the whole roast turkey dinner a few times a year during the winter months.  i always seem to get free turkeys at the holiday time.

My DH likes turkey, but I think chicken is 1000x better. So, once those free turkeys are gone, I make chicken.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE turkey!!!  

After Christmas WM had butterball premium whole turkeys on sale for .20/lb.  I bought 2.

Tonight, we enjoyed hot turkey sandwiches. I made a big batch of "stuffing" for tonight and the freezer.  

The other is still in the freezer.  I plan to make it for company coming in March - I don't do all the fixings like at holidays.

I like it for turkey salad, sandwiches, pot pies and more...
