Recipe Tips

• How to know when turkey breast is done: Use a meat thermometer to check the thickest part of the breast. It should read 165°F (74°C) without touching the bone.
• How to make turkey gravy: Use the leftover juices from the crockpot, add chicken broth to make 2 cups, and thicken with a butter-flour roux on the stove.
• How to get crispy skin: After resting, place turkey breasts on a baking sheet and broil for a few minutes until the skin crisps up.
• Can I use a frozen turkey breast?: Yes, but be sure to fully thaw it in the fridge for 2 days or use the cold water method.
• Why cook on low instead of high?: Cooking on low keeps the turkey juicy and tender; high heat can dry it out.
