Thanksgiving for only a few? This is the perfect turkey recipe!

Looking for a recipe for only a few people, this is the perfect recipe to make! This crock pot turkey breast is simple and delicious!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love easy recipes and this one is definitely that.. super simple! It’s perfect for just a few people and great for Thanksgiving. It takes practically no prep and it’s loaded in flavor. It’s one of those recipes that goes great with our creamy mashed potatoes and broccoli casserole.

SWAPS

In this recipe, you can use whole cranberry sauce in the can or jellied cranberry sauce. We made this with jellied cranberry sauce, but it works with either! This is made with Lipton Onion Soup Mix but if you don’t want to use that, you can always make your own…here is our recipe.

⭐TIPS

We leave the netting on the turkey breast when we cook it in the slow cooker. It helps the turkey breast keep its shape. This is a very moist recipe and it will fall apart, so if you want to slice it on a plate, I suggest leaving it on. Also, some turkey breast comes with a gravy packet; we didn’t use that in this recipe. I would suggest keeping it and serving the gravy over mashed potatoes.

LET’S COMPLETE THE MEAL

For many years we had a non-traditional Thanksgiving. We served different dishes and everyone loved it. You don’t have to go the traditional route.

• 1 packet of dry onion soup mix
• 1/4 cup of butter melted

• Place your turkey breast (with the netting on) in the slow cooker and pour the melted butter over it.

• Mix the dry onion mix and ONE can of cranberry sauce together and pour over the turkey breast.

• Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3 or until the turkey test done with your meat tester (should reach 165 degrees).

• Once done, remove from gravy and take off netting. Slice and place on plate. Take the other can of cranberry sauce and spoon it over the turkey breast. You can put the gravy in gravy boat to pour over turkey if you like. (the gravy is great over mashed potataoes)

The turkey breast came with a gravy packet and we didn’t use it. It would probably be delicious over mashed potatoes.
