Anyone Made a Turkey Roast in a Crock Pot?
I got one of those turkey breast roasts and was wondering if you can cook that in a crock pot like you would a pot roast... any ideas?
The package says it takes about 1.5 hrs to cook in the oven, but we're always running around so much, even on the weekends, I'm wondering if I can just drop it in the crock & let it cook.
Thanks!

Yes, by all means put in the crock pot I would add a little water just to keep it moist. But on low you should have no problem.

Hi D.-
I haven't tried it yet, but I have a cookbook for the crock pot (Fix It And Forget It) and there are several recipes for cooking a turkey breast or roast in the crockpot. Most of them call for some chicken broth in the crockpot and then cook for 6-8 hours on low for a 5 1/2 lb. bone-in breast.
Good luck!

Yes, you can cook just about anything in a crockpot and I've cooked those turkey roasts (and pork roasts) in one lots of times. I usually add some type of envelope gravy to it also. Turns out great!

I prepared them in a crock pot just like a beef roast with a package of lipton onion soup mix and potatoes and carrots, also used a can of cranberry sauce poured over the turkey breast once, it was very good. Just cook 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. I'll put just about anything in the crockpot.

Yummy! We do that all the time. Only about 1 to 1-1/2 oup water needed in the crockpot with the turkey. I like to add a bay leaf or two. Then low for 8-10hrs. Easy easy. I just used bottled turkey gravy with it.
