The slow cooker can be a real life-saver on busy days. This slow-cooker turkey breast is super easy. At the end of the day, all you have to do is make the gravy and finish the sides, and you're ready to go! (We're talking 10 minutes here!)
1 bone-in turkey breast
1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 c white wine
4 1-inch strips of lemon rind
3 1-inch strips orange rind
10 sage leaves
Generous amounts of salt and pepper
Gravy:
2 Tablespoons chopped sage leaves
2 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoons water
Salt and pepper.
1. Place turkey in the crock pot. Pour over the stock and wine. Salt and pepper generously, then lay rinds and sage on top. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
2. When the turkey is done, take it out of the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board. Carefully lift the insert out of the crock pot and pour the liquid into a gravy separator. Pour all the broth and about 1 Tablespoon of the fat into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. In a separate small bowl, make a slurry by combining the water and flour with a whisk. Slowly whisk in the slurry into the broth mixture. Bring to a boil. (For the thickeners to activate, they need to reach a boiling temperature). Simmer for 5 minutes. Add sage. Salt and pepper to taste.
3. Remove the skin from the turkey breast and slice across the grain. Serve with gravy.
