Crockpot Stuffed Turkey Breast
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
2 1/2 ounces bacon croutons
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 whole uncooked turkey breast
salt and pepper
cheesecloth (24x36")
dry white wine
Combine butter, onion, celery, croutons, bouillon, parsley, and
poultry seasoning. Cut turkey breast in thick slices, from
breastbone to rib cage, leaving slices attached to bone. Sprinkle
turkey with salt and pepper. Soak cheesecloth in wine. Set turkey on
cheesecloth. Stuff bread mixture into slits of turkey. Fold one end
of cheesecloth over other to cover meat. Place on metal rack or
trivet in slow-cooking pot.
Cover pot and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or until tender. Pour
additional wine over turkey during cooking. Remove from pot and take
cheesecloth off immediately. If browner breast is preferred, remove
from pot and brown in 400�F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand 10
min. Drippings may be thickened for gravy if desired. Serve each
person one or more thick slices of turkey with dressing in between.
This recipe designed for 4 1/2 qt or larger slow cooking pot. |
