Cook Time: 6 hrs
Total Time: 6 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey breast
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 packet turkey gravy mix
- 1 cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the turkey breast by patting it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, turkey gravy mix, and water until smooth and well combined.
- Place the seasoned turkey breast into the crock pot, positioning it centrally to ensure even cooking.
- Pour the prepared soup and gravy mixture over the turkey breast, making sure to cover the meat completely and allowing some liquid to pool around the sides.
- Cover the crock pot with its lid and set the temperature to low heat setting.
- Cook the turkey breast for 6 hours, which allows the meat to become tender and fully infused with the gravy's rich flavors.
- After cooking time is complete, carefully remove the turkey breast and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Check the internal temperature of the turkey, which should reach at least 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Slice the turkey and serve with the remaining gravy from the crock pot, spooning it over the meat for extra moisture and flavor.
Tips
- Pat the turkey breast completely dry before seasoning to ensure better browning and flavor absorption.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the gravy mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir into the sauce during the last hour of cooking.
- Choose a turkey breast that fits comfortably in your crock pot without overcrowding for even cooking.
- Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent temperature and moisture.
