Crockpot Turkey Breast and Whipped Carrots




This was a big win! The most delicious crock pot turkey breast and a new fabulous side of whipped carrots. Heavenly! A little preview of Thanksgiving in the Parish household, both these dishes were a big hit!!!

Turkey Recipe
Ingredients
  • 1 Turkey Breast
  • EVOO
  • salt & pepper
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Fresh Thyme
Instructions
  1. Turn your slow cooker on high.
  2. Place your washed Turkey Breast inside your slow cooker & pour a generous amount of EVOO (about a half cup or so) over the Turkey. Spread EVOO around with your hands or a basting brush.
  3. Salt & Pepper the Turkey depending upon your preference. Poultry usually requires quite a bit.
  4. Chop some fresh Rosemary & place on top of the Turkey.
  5. In addition, use about 2-3 twigs of Rosemary & place on the Turkey as well.
  6. Place fresh twigs of Thyme & sprinkle all over the bird.
  7. Add more EVOO if needed
  8. Cook your Turkey for at least an hour on high. (I cooked it for 1 1/2 on high)
  9. Then place your slow cooker on low and cook for about 8 hours.
  10. Once your Turkey is completely cooked, carefully remove from slow cooker & place on carving board. Cover with foil & let cool or stand for about 10 minutes.
  11. Carve the turkey & serve.

Instructions

  2. Place drained carrots in blender with salt and cream or milk of choice (start out with less liquid and add as needed) and blend until smooth.
  3. Season to taste and serve.
