has anyone ever tried to cook a turkey breast in a crock pot?

Question

I'm afraid to try cuz...do you think it would just sit in a puddle of grease and not brown at all? Flip side-bet it would be very tender.

Answer 1

I have made this recipe and it is great.

Juicy Crockpot Turkey Breast Recipe #188444

You might never make turkey breast any other way but this, this creates the most flavorful juiciest turkey breast you will ever have! do not be tempted to add in water or broth, the slow-cooking will create juice. This can also be done using a whole chicken. If you have time rub soup ingredients on and underneath the skin of the breast, wrap in foil and refrigerate for 24 hours. To cook 2 breasts just double the recipe. Do not add in any extra salt.

Answer 3

I put just about everything in the crockpot. Keep in mind that they are designed as slow cookers so your meat will not brown although it will cook thoroughly. The turkey breast is low in fat so it will not have the grease that dark meat would normally have. I would recommend that you put at least a cup of turkey or chicken broth in the crock pot with it to keep the meat moist and to keep it from burning. I cook my turkey breasts in the crock pot all the time and they always turn out juicy and tasty. Good luck!

Here's how I cook whole chickens in the crock:
Remove skin, giblets and neck, wash inside and out.
Season inside with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Layer in crock:
whole, cleaned potatoes, quartered onions, carrots cut into 2 inch lengths, celery cut into 3 inch strips. Place chicken breast side down on top of vegetables. Pour a small amount of olive oil over the chicken. Add 1 cup dry white wine and 1 cup chick broth to crock. Cover, set to low, cook for 8 to twelve hours. Chicken will fall off of the bones. Make gravy out of juices. Can be eaten as stew or soup.
Should work great for turkey - use some poultry seasoning!

Answer 5

Oh, yes, and it turns out great! The breast isn't very fatty, so it doesn't get as greasy as you would think.

I like to brown the skin in a skillet, or with a kitchen torch before putting it in the pot, so it's nice and pretty when it comes out.

Put some flavorful veggies in the bottom of the pot, and you don't even have to add any liquid, it makes its own lovely broth.

no but it might work
