Ingredients

Scale

Turkey Breast

  • 3 lb frozen boneless turkey breast

Gravy

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/4 cup turkey broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Turkey Breast: Remove the outer plastic wrapping and discard, along with the gravy packet. Place the frozen turkey breast, still wrapped in twine, into the Crock-Pot insert.
  2. Melt Butter and Make Roux: In a microwave-safe 2-cup measuring cup or bowl, melt the butter. Add the flour and microwave for one minute, then whisk to combine.
  3. Add Wine: Whisk in the dry white wine and microwave for an additional minute until the mixture bubbles and thickens.
  4. Add Broth and Seasonings: Whisk in the turkey broth along with the salt, poultry seasoning, Herbs de Provence, and black pepper. Pour this gravy mixture over the turkey breast in the Crock-Pot.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover the Crock-Pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
  6. Check Temperature: Using an instant-read digital meat thermometer, verify that the turkey breast has reached a safe internal temperature of at least 165°F.
  7. Remove and Trim: Carefully transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board. Use kitchen shears to cut away the twine and remove any visible fat.
  8. Strain Gravy: Strain the cooking liquid to remove fat and any solids, discarding the unwanted fat.
  9. Return Turkey to Gravy: Pour the strained gravy back into the Crock-Pot insert. Slice the turkey breast and add the slices back to the gravy.
  10. Reheat: Continue cooking on LOW until the turkey and gravy are heated through and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the turkey breast is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  • Removing the twine after cooking is easier and ensures the bird remains intact during slow cooking.
  • This recipe works well with any boneless turkey breast size; adjust cooking time accordingly if larger or smaller.
  • Use turkey broth for richer flavor or chicken broth as a substitute.
  • If you prefer thicker gravy, you can thicken it further after straining by simmering on the stovetop with a little additional flour slurry.
