For those of you making this in the near future, could you please post your reviews?  Thinking about making it for Christmas.  Thanks!

The turkey breast I get is usually about 9 pounds because of the servings I want.  I get about 3 cups of broth if using the crock pot.  I'd have broth.

This appears to be made with 1/2 turkey breast.

I do a whole turkey + a turkey breast.  This recipe sounds good,

and I like the ease of using a crock pot,

I just wonder if the dressing would come out all mushy.

I made this today. The turkey was really moist. I think I will use more seasoning next time. The dressing was really wet. I will use less stock next time. Didn't use the cranberries. All in all this recipe is a keeper.

I made this also.  Turkey was fine, I didn't like the dressing.  I used a little more dressing than the recipe called for.

Someone had posted a similar recipe here a couple of years ago, and I tried it.

It was very good.

I think that the differences were with the gravy and perhaps with the cook time.

If I recall properly, I think that the cook time might have been a little bit less for my slow cooker.

I remember that my turkey breast cooked fast in my cooker, and I think that it was probably done at around 4 hours?

I used the exact same ingredients as this recipe calls for too, including the 3 pound turkey breast. 

I recommend checking for doneness for the turkey with a meat thermometer to be sure its done,as it might finish cooking faster than the time indicated in the recipe, like mine did.

For general food safety, the minimal temperature should be at least 165 degrees. 

I saved the recipe, so that I could make it again.
