Easy Crock Pot Turkey Breast

A friend posted a recipe for what looked like an amazing turkey breast recipe in the crock pot. Of course, when I went to make it, I couldn't find the recipe anywhere. I tried to remember everything that was in it and made this turkey recipe. Believe me, its seriously delicious! The turkey is so incredibly moist and the gravy that is makes is great - its like Thanksgiving Dinner all rolled into one.

1 (5-6 pound) turkey breast
1/4 cup orange juice
1- 14 oz can whole cranberry sauce
1- 1 ounce package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix

For gravy
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons water



Directions:
  • Let turkey breast thaw (I had mine in fridge 2 days before)
  • Add turkey to the crock pot
  • Mix all the other ingredients together and then pour over the turkey
  • Cook on low for 8-9 hours. 
  • Remove the turkey and shred or carve!
  • If you want, make a BOMB gravy with the juice left in the crock pot. Simply put the juice in a pan on the stove and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to 2 tablespoons water to make a slurry. 
  • Bring the juices to a boil and slowly add the corn start mixture. Let it cook and it will begin to thicken. 
  • This gravy is great because it has a tiny bit of sweetness from the cranberry.
