Cooking Instructions
PREPARATION Melt butter Mince garlic Wash the turkey breast under cold water and towel it dry with the paper towel. DIRECTIONS Whisk together the melted butter, oil and minced garlic. Place the turkey breast into the slow cooker with the skin side facing up. Pour the mixed ingredients over the turkey breast and sprinkle salt and pepper over the turkey breast. Place the cover on the pot and set it to high. Cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce the temperature to low and cook for 4 to 5 more hours. Check the temperature of the turkey breast with the meat thermometer. The meat thermometer should be placed into the thickest part of the breast without touching any bones. If it registers 165 degrees, the turkey is done. Turn the slow cooker off and cover to keep the turkey breast warm. Mix 2 Tbls. cornstarch with 2 Tbls. cold water in a small measuring cup. Drain off the cooking juices from the crock pot into a saucepan. Heat the juices to boiling and reduce the heat down to medium-high. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir well until the mixture thickens into a gravy. Remove from the heat. SERVING Remove the turkey breast from the cooker and place it onto a plastic cutting mat. Slice the turkey breast into thin slices. Place the turkey breast onto a serving platter and pour some of the gravy over top. Pour the remainder of the gravy into a serving dish.
