Description

Ingredients

• 1 [7-8 lb] bone-in turkey breast
• 5 Tbsp softened butter, divided
• chicken or turkey seasoning [such as McCormicks Original Chicken]
• 1 celery stalk,cut into 2 inch pieces
• 1 carrot, peeled & cut into 2 inch pieces
• ¼ cup chicken broth
• black pepper to taste

Directions

• Spray the inside of a 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
• Rinse and pat dry the turkey breast. Rub with 3 Tbsp of softened butter all over and under the skin. Pull back the skin and sprinkle the breast meat liberally with seasoning. Pull the skin back over the breast and season the exterior of the bird inside and out.
• Arrange the chopped celery and carrot in the bottom of the slow cooker. Drizzle with ¼ cup of chicken broth.
• Center the turkey breast in the slow cooker and dot the top with the remaining 2 Tbsp of softened butter.
• Cook on high for 30 minutes, then on low for 6-7 hours, depending on your slow cooker. I recommend that you check it at 6 hours. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Remove to a platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
• To make gravy, strain the broth. Pour into a stove top pan and thicken with flour or cornstarch. Adjust the seasonings if needed.
