"This is a great alternative to a whole oven roasted turkey, the recipe as stated will produce some juice but if you want more in a can of low-sodium chicken broth. For the best flavor use a skin on turkey breast you can always remove the skin after cooking and use a fresh breast not previously frozen then thawed, because of the already high sodium content of the dry soup mix is is advised not to add in an addition salt. Since every slowcooker cooks differently and depending on the size of the turkey breast that you use the cooking time may need to be adjusted "

Rinse the breast well under cold water then pat dry using paper towels.

At this point you may cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Step 5

Place the turkey breast skin side facing up in the crock pot then cover with lid and cook on HIGH setting for 1 hour.

Reduce to LOW setting and continue cooking for 5 hours for a 6-pound breast (larger size may need more cooking time).

I adjusted the recipe for 4 servings and used turkey tenderloins. Rubbed them with olive oil and did use a bit more garlic powder and black pepper. The tenderloins were very moist and flavorful. Couldnt be easier to put together and I always have everything on hand. Kitten thank you for our very enjoyable early Thanksgiving dinner! Made and reviewed for the What's On The Menu recipe tag game.

So simple and soooo delicious! The turkey was moist and flavorful. Leftovers will make great additions to soups or casseroles - extremely economical. I'll be trying some ground dehydrated onion next time to reduce the sodium due to a health need. Thanks Kittencal!
