I just wanted to come back and comment about my results with this recipe. Simply put IT IS DELICIOUS!!! Oh. My. Stars. So moist and tender and delicious! I am not a big turkey fan (hubby LOVES turkey) but I found this to be so good!! I followed the recipe exactly as Christy has it and it was perfect. The only thing I did wrong was getting a turkey breast that was too big for the crockpot but hubby just cut the turkey breast in half and it fit.
Thank You Christy for this wonderful and EASY recipe. I will be making this a lot I am sure!!
I just want to add that if you’re concerned about the turkey tasting like Italian Dressing don’t worry. The turkey has a great taste but it does not taste like Italian Dressing. I can’t really put my finger on what it tastes like but my hubby said it tastes “Thanksgiving-y”.
It is sooooooooooo gooooooood!!!!
Christy,
I bought 2-3 lb. boneless (not bone-in) turkey breasts. Can I put them both in the crock pot together and follow the recipe the same? Or should I do something different?
If they will both fit in there you sure can!
Does time need to be adjusted for 2 breasts? I usually cook one for 6 hours.
If you can fit two in there they should still cook in about the same amount of time, maybe add an hour. I think getting two to fit will be the biggest problem I’m afraid.
Melissa,
I read your comment about putting two 3 lb boneless (not bone-in) turkey breasts in the crockpot together. How did that work out for you? Low 7-8 hours? I would like to try also?
I need the recipe for Baked Ham with Easy Peasy Glaze for Thanksgiving. All the links on your website lead me to Slow Cooker Turkey Breast. How do I get the ham recipe?
hey Mary! I found the post but I can’t get the link to direct to that link. It keeps redirecting to this one. I’m still working on it. I know that recipe is in my first cookbook, if you happen to have that.
My daughter can’t use butter, can I sub olive oil for the butter?
I can’t see why not, I have always used butter but you shouldn’t have a problem.
Do you put the breast meat side up or upside down?
I do breast side up.
It is in the Crockpot. I love this recipe. I made it last year too. I have been making your mustard recipe before this one.
It is always great to learn the different types of meat that can be cooked in a Slow Cooker, thank you. I will be sure to save this recipe to use at a later date. Because the household is down to one (for Thanksgiving this year) I am having a Cornish Game Hen. I would love to have recipes for Cornish Game Hens. Happy Thanksgiving.
