Crockpot - turkey breast

ingredients

• (1) 3lb Butterball turkey breast, boneless, no giblets, pack of gravy
• 1/2 can chicken broth
• olive oil
• cloves of garlic
• salt and pepper

directions

• remove plastic packaging on turkey, including removing all the strings, and wash thoroughly
• transfer turkey to crockpot, skin side up
• rub in olive oil, salt, and pepper
• place garlic on turkey, and some digging into the turkey, some under the skin
• pour in half can of chicken broth (broth water level should cover half the turkey, not all of it)
• cook on low for 8 hours
• transfer turkey to another pot to cool down, then refrigerate
• strain remaining turkey juices (to remove fat) and pour into another pan. refrigerate for use later to make gravy using gravy packet that's included

result

• looks juicy from the broth, but not soggy
• haven't tasted it yet! will try when i get home....
• oh no!!! it was TOO SALTY! yikes! my first crockpot failure! oy!
• possibly overcooked? not as juicy as roasting in the oven. meat was still moist in a easily-splits-apart-with-your fork kind of way

next time

• DON'T season with salt. just use pepper only
• probably shouldn't use chicken broth either. using salt and chicken broth was probably overkill. i'll use water next time. it's easier to make it bland and then add salt later.
• maybe cook for shorter period of time. 6 hrs? 7 hrs? def less than 8 hrs...
