Good Golly - Miss Molli's Crock Pot Turkey!

**Chefzhat** · 01-03-2002, 04:39 PM

Tried it. Loved it. Entered it in the monthly menu rotation!

This was the easiest thing ever! Now, Miss Molli, I've got lots of left over meat and broth - what to do?

I thought maybe thickening it, adding onion and sweet potatoes and leftover meat, serving over pasta, and sprinkled with walnuts.

What do you think? What can you come up with!!

Debie-

I am so glad you liked it.

Your idea sounds good for the leftovers- good enough for me to try. I am funny about leftovers, I only like them once and then I am bored with them

I know, bad. Luckliy, DH doesn't have the aversion. He has had it for lunch the past couple of days, me, just on Wednesday

**Molli526** · 01-03-2002, 05:28 PM

Debie-

I just now saw a review for spicy turkey & sweet potato gumbo. I think I may do that, which from the recipe is pretty close to what you mentioned.

Is this the crockpot turkey recipe with onion soup mix and cranberry sauce?

**Peggy C.** · 01-04-2002, 05:44 AM

keeganm, I think it is.

But I'm still so confused, maybe this is so easy I'm trying to read into it. Tell me what you did, I want to try this as well as the potroast someone mentioned on the other thread.

Did you 1. put the frozen breast in the crock pot?
2. smear the cranberry over the breast?
3. sprinkle the soup?

Really I'm not dumb (atleast not all the time) but I didn't grasp what order you put things in or doesn't it matter?

Dear euclid - you're not dumb! It really was that easy!

1. Frozen turkey breast in crock pot
2. Dump in Onion soup mix.
3. Open cranberry sauce and dump in.
4. Install crock pot lid
5. Turn on low
6. Cook 10 hours

This was so good and so easy I couldn't believe it!

Peggy-

It is so easy and so good. The meat is so tender and juicy! I couldn't believe it was that easy but it is. The hardest part, IMHO, is getting the wrapper off the frozen breast

**dmcgreevey** · 01-04-2002, 07:18 AM

This is going on my menu for next week. Sounds awesome!

**lanie** · 01-04-2002, 07:52 AM

This sounds so amazing - one 'silly' question - did you use whole or jellied cranberry sauce - or does it not matter???????

**Molli526** · 01-04-2002, 08:18 AM

I used the jellied sauce, but I don't think it matters.

**dcornelius** · 01-04-2002, 09:09 AM

You girls must have some pretty big crock pots to fit a whole turkey in!!! Do you spose you could do this as successfully with a chicken?

**Molli526** · 01-04-2002, 09:59 AM

Oh! I used a 4.5 lb turkey breast! I was thinking of trying a chicken but I like white meat so, why waste the rest of the meat?My crockpot is a 6Q.

**Ms. Chevious** · 01-04-2002, 11:52 AM

Would there be a way to do this without a crockpot, in the oven perhaps? Was it a boneless breast or a whole breast?

**Molli526** · 01-04-2002, 01:42 PM

I used a whole breast but will maybe use a boneless breast next time.

I don't know how the conversion from crockpot to oven would be. Hmmmm

**dcornelius** · 01-04-2002, 02:34 PM

My DH and DD made Christmas dinner this year because I was working and my DH bought a boneless turkey breast and I have to tell you I was dissaticfied. I ended up not even using the left overs. I will probably never use one again. I will however see if I can find a bone in breast, I don't know if that will make a difference but the boneless was just to "processed" for me. I am interested in trying this recipie and see how it tastes.

**Peggy C.** · 01-04-2002, 02:50 PM

Dear Gourmet Guru in Grand Rapids, (Chefzhat)

I will give it a try, hopefully this weekend. Thanks for the tips.

Signed
Not so useless anymore.

Molli thanks for sharing the recipe.

**jpap** · 01-05-2002, 06:39 PM

Mollie, I could not find a small turkey breast, bought a six pound for sunday dinner, How long should I cook it? Can I cook on high for an hour and all be well? Please help! janet

**jpap** · 01-05-2002, 06:47 PM

Mollie, Sorry, I just reread the recipe. I was at the store and remembered the recipe as calling for 3-4 lb. turkey breast. I did not want it to be dinner time and I'm looking in my crockpot saying, okay 2 more hours! That has happened a time or two and we end up eating at 9. Thanks, I'll give my reveiws tomorrow. janet

**Molli526** · 01-06-2002, 08:08 AM

You can use between a 4-6 pound turkey/ turkey breast. Mine was about 4.25 and I cooked it for 10 hours so if it is bigger, it may take a little longer.

**jpap** · 01-06-2002, 07:37 PM

Hey everyone and Mollie, We enjoyed this tonight, it got great reveiws, but I do have leftovers. Any suggestions would be great! janet

**Molli526** · 01-06-2002, 07:41 PM

I was going to make this, then DH ate all the turkey before I could get to it

**jpap** · 01-06-2002, 07:46 PM

Sounds great Mollie, thanks again! Janet

**SusanL** · 01-07-2002, 03:33 AM

Molli, it was the best!! Very moist and flavorful!! I used a 3.4 unfrozen turkey and cooked it in the CP for 5 hours. Removed the sauce, added cornstarch mixture and was in heaven. dcornelius You must try this one in place of the one that was dry at Christmas. I have a tendency to undercook the turkey and then let it set a few minutes. Thanks again Molli, this will be in our rotation, also.
This also helps me with my turkey sausage dilemma= gumbo here I come

**carolyn.1** · 01-07-2002, 02:39 PM

I put a 6 lb half frozen turkey breast in my 6 qt crockpot with the simple onion soup and cranberry sauce--EXCELLENT .I cooked it allday Sunday. Very tasty. I too, don't really know what to do with the left overs--quite abit of meat left. I couldn't believe the amount of liquid after the bird was done.
Anyhow, thank you so much for the wonderful recipe Molli

**Chefzhat** · 01-07-2002, 05:11 PM

I made the Spicy Turkey Gumbo from December with the leftover and the family raved and raved. Very good. And there's still some left for the freezer for a later meal.

Again, Molli, you are a star! What a winner recipe!

Debie

**Peggy C.** · 01-09-2002, 05:45 AM

I made this yesterday and it turned out very yummy! Molli you were right the hardest part is unwrapping the turkey! Especially if you are not very bright like me and you bought a breast that said "gravy packet included" that means it is actually frozen in the breast cavity, thank goodness I was assembling the night before and was just going to throw the whole crockpot liner in the fridge. It took me a while, but I was able to pry that bag O'gravy out!

Will definitely repeat this! DH= enjoyed it also!

Thanks Molli!

**pes** · 01-09-2002, 08:57 AM

I have this in the crockpot today for dinner tonite. I put the frozen turkey breast in the sink full of cold water this am before I took a shower and let it sit for 20 minutes while i got ready for work. No problems with the wrapper or the "bag of goo" as it's called at my house. I'm already looking forward to dinner tonite!

**dcornelius** · 01-09-2002, 03:15 PM

Ok, the turkey has been on since this am and I am dying to dig in, I am a very poor planner sometimes though and did not plan wht to make with it. Any suggestions? What have you guys made with it?

**Molli526** · 01-09-2002, 03:42 PM

Sweet Potato wedges (baked in oven) and some green beans. Not overly exciting, but yummy. I am making this again next week

**Peggy C.** · 01-10-2002, 05:27 AM

I made stuffing and steamed broccoli. I thickened the gravy/sauce with cornstarch and really liked it on the stuffing!
