SARASOTA'S CROCK-POT TURKEY BREAST POT ROAST

Sarasota's Crock-Pot Turkey Breast Pot Roast image

I love turkey, but if you don't want to cook a whole turkey, this can be a great alternative. I watch for turkey breasts to go on sale and pick one up for an easy dinner. You could also add in a turkey thigh as well. This is done right in the crock pot which makes this even easier. Slow cooked comfort food. The only thing I believe is a must if you are using the crock pot, is to lightly brown your turkey breast first. I just season with salt and pepper and pan sear on medium high in butter and olive oil until lightly golden brown.

Time 4h15m

Yield 4-6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 1/2-4 lbs boneless turkey breast (you could also add a turkey thigh as well)
4 -5 carrots, cut in 1-inch pieces
12 red potatoes (small ones can be left whole, large ones should be cut in half)
2 large onions, rough chopped
2 teaspoons butter (to saute the turkey)
1 tablespoon olive oil (to saute the turkey)
1 1/2 cups broth
1/3 cup white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, fine chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 tablespoons cornstarch (plus 1 teaspoon water to make a slurry)
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
salt
pepper

Steps:

Turkey -- In a large saute pan on medium high heat, add the butter and olive oil and pan sear the turkey, just a few minute until lightly golden brown.
Crock Pot -- Transfer the turkey to the crock pot and add all the vegetables.
Broth -- Mix the broth and seasoning and pour over the turkey. I do use a bit more liquid then most crock pot dishes, but I love to thicken the sauce, it makes a great gravy.
Cook -- On low cook for approximately 7-8 hours, high 5-6.
Gravy -- Remove the turkey and vegetables from the crock pot and transfer to a serving platter. Cover with foil to let rest. Pour the juice from the crock pot into a small pot on the stove and stir in a slurry of (corn starch and water) to thicken the sauce. I add a little at a time to get it to the consistency I like best. I don't like my gravy too thick. You can strain the gravy if you want, but I don't find it necessary. I just use a hand held small strainer spoon to get out any small pieces. Add 1 teaspoon fresh parsley to finish the sauce.
Serve -- Slice up the turkey surrounded by the vegetables and potatoes and serve with a side of gravy. Leftover turkey and any gravy makes a great Hot Turkey Sandwich. So save those leftovers, or you can make a turkey has which is always good. ENJOY!

Tips:

To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust, sear the meat in a hot skillet before adding it to the pot.
Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and nutrients to the pot roast. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and parsnips.
Enhance the flavor of the pot roast by deglazing the skillet with a liquid such as wine, broth, or beer before adding it to the pot.
Simmer the pot roast on low heat for several hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and a side of vegetables.
