Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Whether you need extra space in your oven or just a little more turkey to serve your guests, a slow cooker turkey breast is the perfect answer to both!  It’s flavorful and easy.

Obviously you won’t be able to fit a full size turkey in your slow cooker, but for those of you with a reduced sized family a turkey breast may be just the right size.  That’s the second issues I have with turkey. A whole turkey makes for a lot of leftovers if you don’t have a lot of people!  We all love leftover turkey, but I don’t like having to eat it for two weeks afterwards.  That makes the slow cooker turkey breast the perfect option.

But a turkey breast isn’t just an option for small gatherings.  This also works well if you are hosting an extra large group.  The turkey breast provides some extra white meat to help fill your platter.  Because not having any leftover turkey isn’t good either!
