Equipment
- 1 Crock Pot
Ingredients
- 3 lb frozen boneless turkey breast
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/4 cup turkey broth or chicken broth
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the outer plastic wrapping and discard. Throw away the gravy packet.
- Place the frozen turkey breast into the insert of your Crock-Pot. There will likely be a twine wrapping around the breast to hold it together. You will cut this away after it is cooked.
- In a microwave-safe, 2-cup capacity measuring cup, (or a microwavable small bowl) melt the butter.
- Add the flour and microwave for one minute. Whisk.
- Whisk in the wine. Microwave for one additional minute. The mixture will bubble up and thicken.
- Whisk in the turkey broth and seasonings. Pour the gravy over the turkey breast.
- Cover with the lid and cook on LOW power for 8 hours.
- Check the the center of the turkey breast with an instant read digital meat thermometer. It needs to be a minimum of 165 degrees F to be safe to eat!
- Carefully remove the turkey breast to a cutting board. Use kitchen shears to gently cut away the twine. And also, remove and discard any visible fat.
- Strain the gravy and discard any fat that might be floating in it.
- Return the gravy to the slow cooker insert. Slice the juicy turkey breast and return it to the gravy.
- Continue to cook on low until the turkey and gravy are heated through and you are ready to eat.
