Crock Pot Turkey Breast

Just wanted to report that I made a crock-pot turkey breast today and it turned out GREAT, as advertised by L.E.. She cooked hers for an hour on high then turned it down to low for about eight hours. I kept mine on high for the whole time, about 7 hours. (All crock pots are different.) As promised, the meat was really moist and practically fell off the bone. Just take a bone-in turkey breast, take out whatever is inside (ours, from Vons, had a gravy packet inside), rinse, rub the outside and under the skin with one package of dry onion soup mix and some garlic. Put it in the crock pot with about a quarter cup of water.

To make gravy (it's milder-tasting than roasted turkey gravy, but still good) strain the solids out of the broth (mine generated a lot of liquid), put the broth in a saucepan with the gravy packet and some cornstarch dissolved in water, and heat until thickened. We had ours over rice, LaLa had mashed potatoes.

Thanks, L.E., for this delicious, easy dinner idea!
