Turkey Breast

QVCkitty1 · ‎05-23-2015

I've got a bone in turkey breast in my slow cooker. I'm using one of the many recipes that I found online. However , I'm wondering if any of you have cooked a turkey breast this way and if so were you pleased with the results. I usually do mine on the Popeil rotisserie, but frankly I just didn't feel like messing with it today. Anyway TIA.

@QVCkitty1 I just did that yesterday. I put fresh herbs (mixture of sage, rosemary and thyme) a little salt and pepper and a 32 oz carton of turkey broth. It fell off the bone and was tasty. I served it with sauteed zucchini and stove top sage stuffing and gravy. It was delicious! Matter of fact I am warming up the leftovers for tonight. Enjoy

Doesn't the fresh herbs (mixture of sage, rosemary and thyme) make your poultry dishes and gravy so fantastic? I use that mixture a LOT each week. I also just use the sage and rosemary for my pork roasts.

I have a huge one in the freezer that I would like to do but have to buy some stuff for my recipe.

I've never done it in the slow cooker. I do think that I prefer to roast in the oven. I willl do a liquid brine overnight, then I make a dry rub that I put on before roasting.

This week it was mashed potatoes. I bought a bunch early in the week and finally, yesterday, I got them made. I don't think I've made such a huge batch before. I portion some out, freeze in L&L, then pop them out and vac seal so I can have mashers any time I want. This batch will last me all year, at least. It was definitely a job, mashing that huge a batch - but worth it.

Maybe next week I can get my ingredients and do the turkey breast next. Turkey breast is a huge favorite of mine. I will also vac seal a bunch of slices for future meals so I can have it whenever I want w/o all the work.

@chickenbutt , I love turkey breast too, and like I said I usually do it on the rotisserie, but I just had to try the slow cooker. We'll see how it goes , but the kitchen smells wonderful.

Prefer not to cook my turkey in a slow cooker because usually it is brined and the turkey meat texture end up different than if you roasted it in an oven or did it on a rotisserie . Slow cooking after brining does make the meat vey tender and imparts flavoring .

It just depends on how you like the turkey to turn out

How long in the slow cooker and is it on low? Sounds delicious and easy

I cook mine breast side down on low until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, between 5-7 hours.

@rockygems123 , The recipe I followed said 6 to 8 hours on low. My breast was on the large side so I opted for the 8 hours and it was fine. I always check with a meat thermometer. In any case , it was juicy.

Terrific, thanks I'm going to give it a go. So glad this post came up, I forgot I have two in the freezer and will make them soon.
