Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 large carrot chopped
- 1 celery rib chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 prigs fresh thyme or 1/2 Tablespoon dried
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 to 7 pound bone-in, skin-on turkey breast (no more than 7 pounds or it won't fit in your slow cooker)
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large, nonstick skillet melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook mixture until vegetables are tender and slightly browned. About 10 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook 2 minutes or until flour is golden and coated over the veggies. Slowly whisk in the broth and water. Add thyme and bay leaves.
- Pour this mixture into your large ( 7 to 8 quart) crock pot.
- Season the turkey breast with salt and pepper. (Being careful not to over-salt. Use more pepper than salt) Place the turkey in the crock pot, breast side down.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 5 to 7 hours. Or on high heat 5 to 6 hours. (The internal temperature of the turkey breast should be 165 degrees.)
- Carefully transfer the turkey breast to a 9x13 inch baking pan. Tent with foil and let rest while you prepare the gravy.
- Strain liquid in the crock pot into a medium saucepan. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then skim any fat from the top surface. Bring gravy to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. It won't get extremely thick (this is more of a thinner gravy). You can add a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 Tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 1/2 Tablespoons water) to thicken it more if you'd like. Season gravy with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Carve the turkey and serve with gravy. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe requires a large 7 to 8 quart crock pot.
