SLOW-ROASTED TURKEY BREAST WITH GRAVY



Slow-Roasted Turkey Breast With Gravy image

This preparation will NOT produce a turkey breast with crispy skin. In fact, I normally remove the skin completely (and discard it) after the turkey has cooked. The meat comes out wonderfully moist and the gravy is out-of-this-world!

Provided by Cooking Ventures

Categories     Turkey Breasts

Time 2h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 lbs bone-in turkey breast
salt
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
4 cups turkey drippings and broth
chicken broth (if needed)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Adjust your oven rack to the lowest position. Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Rinse and dry the turkey breast. Even when I purchase a brined turkey breast, I still like to lightly salt the turkey breast under the skin. You, of course, do not have to. If the turkey breast that you purchase has NOT been brined or koshered, liberally salt the breast under the skin.
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat with the oil. When hot, add the turkey, breast-side down. Add the onion around the edges of the bird. Add the garlic on top of the onions. Cook several minutes or until the skin has browned. Flip the bird over so that the breast is facing upward. Stir the onions and garlic. Cook a couple minutes longer. If you have a probe thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the breast - making sure the probe is not sticking up in the air in a way that would impede your covering the turkey breast with a lid. Cover the pot with aluminum foil and top with a tight-fitting lid. Crimp the foil around the seam of the pot to ensure steam does not escape. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160F - roughly 2 1/2 hours.
  • When the turkey is done, remove it from the oven and flip the bird over so that the breast is submerged in the accumulated juices. Cover and let rest 15 minutes. During this time, the internal temperature will increase to at least 170°F.
  • Remove the turkey from the pot and place it on a large platter. Keep it tented so it stays warm. Strain the liquid and solids from the pot into a large bowl. Use the back of a ladle to make sure you smash the onion/garlic to extract all of the juices. Discard the vegetable solids. Skim some or most of the fat that settles on top of the broth and discard any unwanted fat. Measure how much turkey broth you have. If you do not have at least 4 cups, add some chicken stock to come up to a total of 4 cups of liquid. If you like particularly thin gravy, you can add an extra 1/4 to 1/2 cups of turkey/chicken broth. If you like thicker gravy, reduce the liquid by 1/4 to 1/2 cup.
  • To make the gravy, heat a saucepan over medium heat with three tablespoons of butter. After the butter has melted, add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook the butter/flour mixture for about 5 minutes or until it is brown in color. Add the turkey broth and whisk to make sure there are no lumps. Bring to a boil then simmer about 5 minutes. Too thin? Simmer another few minutes or until the gravy is your desired thickness. Too thick? Add more turkey broth, chicken broth, or even water. When the gravy is your desired level of thickness, taste it and add some salt and pepper, if needed. You'll probably need at least some salt.
  • Serve the turkey breast and gravy with some mashed potatoes.

SLOW COOKER TURKEY WITH NO-FUSS GRAVY



Slow Cooker Turkey With No-Fuss Gravy image

I'm posting this recipe here for safe-keeping. I've made this twice, and it's become my favorite. I tried it after seeing posted on Mel;s Kitchen Cafe. My 8lb turkey breast was done in 3 1/2 hrs. Watch for doness closely as over-cooking just a tiny bit too long will result in a dry turkey.

Categories     Poultry

Time 4h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups no-salt-added chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
6 -8 lbs bone-in skin-on turkey breast
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large, nonstick skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are lightly browned.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until the flour coating the veggies turns golden. Whisk in 1 cup of the broth, working to smooth out any lumps as it cooks and thickens. Stir in the remaining broth and water. Add the thyme and bay leaves.
  • Pour the mixture into the slow cooker. Season the turkey breast all over with salt and pepper (be causious with the salt). Place the turkey in the slow cooker (breast side down). Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165 degrees.
  • Carefully transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board (or 9X13-inch pan to catch any juices), tent with foil and let rest while preparing the gravy.
  • Strain the liquid in the slow cooker into a saucepan. Let it settle for 5 minutes or so and then skim the fat from the surface. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often, until it is slightly thickened. It won't be as thick as traditional gravy but will be silky and slightly thick. If you'd like it thicker, simply whisk together a slurry of cornstarch and cold water (a tablespoon or so of cornstarch in a couple tablespoons of water) and stir the slurry into the gravy, simmering for 2-3 minutes.
  • Season the gravy with any additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Carve the turkey and serve with the warm gravy.

SLOW COOKER TURKEY BREAST WITH DRESSING



Slow Cooker Turkey Breast With Dressing image

My cranky old 1934 oven is very small and slow, so I devised this method of cooking holiday meals. The slow cooker keeps the turkey breast moist, and cooking the dressing in the same cooker gives it a wonderful flavor.

Provided by Fishwrap

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Breasts

Time 4h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ large yellow onions, diced
4 large celery ribs, diced - or more to taste
1 (8 ounce) package dry bread stuffing mix with seasoning packet
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon salt
1 (7 pound) bone-in turkey breast with pop-up timer
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and celery in the hot butter until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Place a plastic slow cooker liner into a 6-quart slow cooker. Place dry bread stuffing into the liner bag and sprinkle contents of seasoning packet over the bread. Stir cooked onions and celery, cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup melted butter, chicken broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the dressing mix, taking care not to pierce the bag.
  • Rinse turkey breast and pat dry with paper towels; season turkey breast with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Push the dressing mixture to the edge of the cooker and lay the turkey breast into the slow cooker with the pop-up timer facing upward.
  • Cook on High until the pop-up timer in the turkey breast pops, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Transfer turkey breast to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Transfer dressing to a serving bowl and serve alongside turkey.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a bone-in turkey breast. The bones add flavor to the meat and help to keep it moist.
  • Season the turkey breast generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
  • Sear the turkey breast in a skillet before cooking it in the slow cooker. This will help to brown the meat and add flavor.
  • Add some liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to keep the turkey breast moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the turkey breast on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the turkey breast.
  • Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
  • Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker turkey breast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a holiday dinner. It is also a great option for a weeknight meal, as it can be cooked while you are at work or running errands. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and stress-free meal on the table in no time.
