Turkey in the slow cooker

Taking a cue from Dianne of Dianne’s Dishes, I decided to try and cook a turkey breast in the slow cooker.

And today, I am so glad that I did – the cold/flu thing that David has had for the past week hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. Yuck. My head feels like one of those bobble toys you see on car dashboards – if I turn too fast I’m afraid my head will roll off!

But back to the turkey – I followed Dianne’s directions and put the whole turkey breast in the slow cooker yesterday morning, and by 1:00 p.m., it was done! We are going to have it for dinner tonight, so all I have to do is warm up the turkey! Perfect!

Here is a picture from yesterday – I seasoned it with olive oil, Mrs. Dash Poultry Seasoning, and black pepper.

The only difference between this way and a conventional oven is that you don’t get the crispy browned skin on the top. But I always pull that off anyways, so it doesn’t matter to me. This way was easier, and it didn’t heat up the house!

So on the menu tonight, we have:

Roasted Turkey
Potatoes au gratin
Roasted Brussels sprouts
