Can anyone help me????

[michelleb]

Hi everyone, I am new to this board, I just found it tonight while I was searching for crock pot recipes. I have a question that I was hoping someone could answer for me. Can I cook a 6-7 pound turkey breast in the crock pot. How long would I go about cooking it and would I do it on high or low. If you could help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Hi Michelle and welcome to Nancy's Kitchen Message Board!

Yes you can! In one of the little booklets that came with our crock pot it says:

Thoroughly wash turkey breast (this is for a 3 - 4 lb. one) and pat dry - patting dry assures good browning). Sprinkle avity generously with salt, pepper and parsley. Place in crock pot, dot with butter. Sprinkle with parsley and basil if desired. Cover and cook on high 1 hour, then low 8 - 10 hours. The same goes for chicken, too! Good luck! For a larger one, such as yours, you may want to keep it on high another hour or so, then on low. Looks like an all day project for the crock pot. Of course, you could start the night before and that would be even better!!!!

Hi Michelle,

May I also welcome you to Nancy's Kitchen! Glad to have you join us.

I am posting a link to CD Kitchen. To my knowledge we do not have permission to share the recipes posted on their site. (Chris, please correct me if I am mistaken.)

This tried and true recipe calls for a 6 1/2 pound turkey breast. When the page opens, scroll about half way down to find the recipe for Savory Turkey Breast, from Betty Crocker Slow Cooker Meals. Please note that the contributor used a 5 quart crockpot. The meal did not need to cook for 9 hours.

Reply Turkey Breast

" I have cooked a whole turkey breast in my crockpot/slow cooker and it turns out wonderful. I have a 6 quart and the breast fits perfectly. Do not add water but season the turkey generously. Cooked it for 8 hours, 4 hours at high and 4 hours at low. "

Here is another site you might find helpful:
Scroll down to find the recipe for Roasted Turkey Breast Stuffed w/Herbs

And one more...http://jessicas-swansong.com/recipes1.html
Scroll down the page and look for Smokey Crockpot Turkey. Jessica gives it a two star rating. She stated that the recipe came off a placemat at The Cracker Barrel restaurant. "You never know where the good stuff might turn up!" The low rating is because she misses her grandma's cooking.

In addition to the information above, I have read elsewhere that a smaller amount of turkey breast works best in most crockpots. I am guessing that it would be best to follow general guidelines pertaining to the level of the ingredients to be placed in a crockpot for best results.

Good luck,

Hi everyone, I just wanted to thank those of you who took the time to answer my question. I was going to try the turkey in my crockpot yesterday, but mine was to small, so I guess I am going to have to get a bigger one before I try it. Thanks again for your help.

You've got that right, Chris!! We love the search and rescue!

I'm pleased to note that we have a super group of top 20 posters who share our passion for helping people find the recipes they want but don't have time to search for by themselves. In addition, I am positively in awe of the generosity of some of our members. The time and effort that goes into sharing their recipe collections is a truly generous gift. The spirit of fun and sharing is what makes this board truly unique. We are all indebted to Nancy. She makes it easy to have fun with the Nancy's Kitchen Recipe Message Board.

Hopefully our new members will feel free to jump in at any time and join the ranks of the top 20 posters. The more the merrier, I always say!
