For extra flavor, consider browning the turkey breast in a skillet before placing it in the slow cooker.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Leftover turkey can be used in sandwiches, salads, or soups.
Ensure the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

    I added some carrots and potatoes to the slow cooker, and they cooked perfectly alongside the turkey.

    I browned the turkey before putting it in the slow cooker, and it made a big difference in the appearance.

  • Theo Turner

    The gravy was too thick. Next time, I'll add a little chicken broth to thin it out.

    This recipe saved my Thanksgiving! So easy and the turkey was incredibly moist.
