Betty's Crock Pot Roast Turkey Breast and Turkey Gravy Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Crock Roast Turkey Breast, and also how to make smooth, delicious, low-fat roast turkey gravy to go with it. Very tender turkey and super flavorful gravy!

Ingredients:

3 lb. frozen turkey breast, thawed
meat tenderizer (to taste)
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 cups water

Thaw the turkey breast, if frozen. Use meat tenderizer to salt and tenderize the turkey to taste. Place the turkey breast in a crock pot and cook on low all day for a dinner meal (roughly 6 to 8 hours; larger turkey breasts may take 8 to 10 hours). When ready to serve, remove the cooked roast turkey breast to a tray or cutting board. Slice into desired serving pieces and place on a serving platter. Now, make your roast turkey gravy. From the juices that are left in the crock pot, spoon off as much fat and turkey slivers as you can, and then pour the juices into a saucepan. Mix together 1/3 cup cornstarch and 1 cup water, and add to the saucepan of juices. Stir thoroughly before putting the saucepan over heat. Now, move the saucepan to a burner on your cooktop. Turn the heat on to low, and cook the gravy, stirring constantly. If the gravy is too thick, add a little water at a time until it is smooth and of perfect consistency. In making this recipe, I added 1 extra cup of water to thin the gravy to a perfect consistency. Serve while hot!

Menu suggestion: Place sliced roast turkey breast on serving plate, along with Betty's Cornbread-Sage Dressing . Ladle your toast turkey gravy over the turkey slices slices. Serve with Betty's Blakemore Peas, cranberry sauce, a yeast roll, and a glass of iced tea or lemonade. A great dessert to go with this dinner is Betty's Angelic Frozen Coconut-Caramel Pie! Enjoy!!!

Thanks for this link. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how your recipes are very simple, using plain salt! How easy is that? I love turkey esp. for sandwiches. How can you tell when it's done and turn the pot off? Bless your sweet little heart for putting out these lovely awesome videos.

PS where do you buy the strainer with a spout?

COULD I please also know the BRAND of the tenderizer/salt that you are using?

@nemoryer Thanks for your lovely comment! For meat, set your crock pot on HIGH for about 4 hours. You can take the meat out sooner than that or later; it's very flexible. You can usually find the cup with the strainer most places where kitchen gadgets or sold. It might be your supermarket or a store like Wal-Mart. I usually use Adolf's meat tenderizer in a bottle labeled "No MSG.")

Hi Betty, I bought this exact turkey and was googling a recipe (which is how I found your video) which I loved. I just wanted to check, did you put any liquid in the crockpot in addition to the turkey, or just the straight turkey? Also, if throw some carrots and potatoes in with it, will it alter the recipe much. Thanks! liz

@picketfences101 I did not add any water or broth. As far as the vegetables are concerned, I would prefer to cook them separately in chicken broth and place them in with the turkey breast near the end of cooking.

Hi Betty, I've told my husbands co workers that you can cook a turkey in the crock pot and they didn't believe me, Well, now I have proof. Ill check out the rest of your recipes. Thanks the turkey looks so delicious. Now I have to go buy one myself.~ Karin
