Directions

  1. 1

    Remove the turkey from packaging, but leave the netting intact so it holds together while cooking.

  3. 3

    Place the onion and lemon quarters in the bottom of your slow cooker.

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter with garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and sage.

  5. 5

    Rub the herbed butter mixture all over the turkey breast. Place the turkey on top of the onions and lemons.

  6. 6

    Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours, until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  7. 7

    Transfer the turkey to a platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Carefully cut off the netting and slice into even portions.

  8. 8

    Make the Gravy: Strain the juices from the crock pot into a saucepan. Add the reserved gravy packet.

  9. 9

    In a small bowl, whisk together the broth and cornstarch, then stir into the saucepan. Add pepper, onion powder, sage, parsley, and Dijon mustard.
