CROCK POT CRANBERRY TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Unwrap turkey breast, making sure to leave the netting on the turkey, and place into a slow cooker. I use a 6-qt crock pot.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over the turkey and rub it in. In a mixing bowl combine cranberry sauce, onion seasoning mix, and orange juice. Pour over the turkey.
• Cook on LOW heat for 5-7 hours. Internal temperature needs to be at least 165 degrees. Mine cooked for 6 hours.
• Take turkey breast out of the crock pot and place onto the serving plate. Cover with tin foil to keep it hot. Skim the fat pieces from the crock pot. Pour the remaining liquid from the crockpot into a medium saucepan.
• Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Bring the sauce from the slow cooker to a boil. Once boiling add the cornstarch mixture and stir with a whisk until it's thickened. You may have to turn the heat down while doing this to prevent it from boiling too much and burning. It should only take between 1-2 minutes for it to thicken.
• Pour some of the gravy over the turkey breast and serve. I pour the extra sauce into a jar and set that out with the turkey so you can serve additional gravy with the turkey servings.

INSTANT POT THANKSGIVING TURKEY BREAST WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar, sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic, 5 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl until combined.
• Starting on the top edge of one turkey breast, gently lift the skin to separate it from the meat, but leave a 1/2-inch border around the perimeter where it's still attached to the breast. (You want to make a pocket to hold all the herbs and seasonings.) Stuff half of the herb mixture underneath the skin, massaging it into the flesh and evenly distributing it over the surface of the meat. Repeat with the remaining turkey breast and herb mixture. Let sit uncovered at room temperature for at least 1 hour or wrapped tightly in plastic and chilled for up to 3 days.
• Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® set to the high saute setting (see Cook's Note). Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is deep golden brown and smells nutty, 4 to 6 minutes; scrape into a heatproof bowl and set aside (the roux will continue to darken as it sits).
• Add the remaining tablespoon butter and, working one breast at a time, cook skin-side down, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining breast. Add the wine to the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and cook until you can't smell alcohol and the wine smells fruity and sweet, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the stock, place the rack in the pot and position both breasts on the rack side by side to evenly cook.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on the high pressure setting for 15 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Transfer the turkey to a baking sheet and let sit uncovered while you make the gravy.
• Set the Instant Pot® to the high saute setting and bring the cooking liquid to a boil. Whisk in the roux and cook until the gravy boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. Turn off.
• Cut the turkey crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and top with the gravy.

THANKSGIVING CROCK POT TURKEY BREAST

• Add 2 cans of chicken broth to the crock pot, set to low, and cook for 8-10 hours.
• At about the 5-6 hour mark, turn the turkey over, and add one more can of broth to the crock pot.
• At the end of the cooking time, remove turkey from the pot and place in a shallow baking pan, remove the netting, rub the top with butter, and set under a broiler in the oven to crisp up a bit.
• Allow the turkey to sit 15 minutes before cutting.
• If you wish, use a portion of the pan juices to pour over some of your dressing/stuffing if you made some to give it extra flavor.
• Use the remaining pan juices mixed with the gravy packet in a saucepan on the stove, heated with some cornstarch or flour to make a gravy for the meat.

• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon parsley and the bay leaves in a medium bowl. Scatter the carrots, celery, onion, potatoes and thyme sprigs over and around the turkey in the slow cooker. Pour in the wine mixture, then cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
• Transfer the turkey to a cutting board. Skim off the fat from the gravy in the slow cooker and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and season with salt and pepper. Slice the turkey and serve with the vegetables and gravy.

• Slowly work your fingers under the skin of the turkey breast to separate the skin from the breast, being careful not to tear the skin. Rub the butter under the skin, covering the entire breast as evenly as possible, then rub the outside of the skin with the garlic powder mixture.
• Place the turkey breast on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker and set the slow cooker to low. Cook until the meat is falling apart, 6 to 8 hours depending on the size of the breast.
• Remove the turkey and any bones from the slow cooker. Pull the meat off of the bone and place the turkey back into the juices left in the slow cooker. Using 2 forks, shred the meat in the juices and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
