TURKEY BREAST IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey's cavity, if included and set them aside for later if you plan to use them.
• Wash and dry the turkey breast. Don't remove the skin until the turkey is cooked.
• Baste the entire breast with olive oil. Sprinkle the turkey with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and parsley.
• Spray a large slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the quartered onion and apple into the crock pot.
• Place the turkey into the slow cooker with the skin side facing up.
• Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast.
• Place the cover on the slow cooker and turn it up to High. Cook the turkey for 3 hours and check to see that the meat thermometer has hit 140 F (60 C).
• Cook for another 2 to 3 hours or until the thermometer reads 170 F (77 C).
• Preheat your broiler to High.
• Remove the turkey from the crock pot using two large meat forks. Be very careful because the meat will be extraordinarily tender and ready to slip off of the bone.
• Spray a roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the turkey on the pan breast side up.
• Broil the turkey for 5 to 7 minutes or until the skin on the breast is nicely browned.
• Remove the turkey from the oven. Allow the turkey to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before you carve it. Remove the onion and apple before you carve the turkey.
• Carve and serve the turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce and other traditional holiday sides.
