The Easiest Turkey Breast ever

I love turkey. The smell of a turkey cooking all day immediately makes me happy. I think of Thanksgiving as a kid and get all gooey inside. However, I do not have time to make a Thanksgiving feast on a random weekday and with only 5 people a whole turkey is a bit much. The other day I saw a great deal on an organic (We only buy organic meats, so finding good and different stuff is a challenge. One can only eat so many chicken breasts) turkey breast at Trader Joe's and snagged it up. I found a recipe on one of my many recipe apps on my phone for slow cooker turkey breast that only has 3 ingredients. Well I'm sorry but it needed 2 more, so here is my recipe for the easiest turkey ever.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

1 turkey breast (patted dry)
1 stick of butter
1 cup of chicken, vegetable or turkey stock
2 tbsp poultry seasoning
pepper


Place the turkey breast in your slow cooker and sprinkle the poultry seasoning all over it. Then sprinkle the amount of pepper you desire (I didn't celebrate the pepper because I wanted Elliot to actually eat this). Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove top. Pour the butter and the stock over the turkey. Turn that baby up to high for 6 hours. Every hour or so baste the turkey in its juices. When the turkey is done (it could take up to 7 hours depending on the size of the breast so keep checking it) you can turn the juices left in the crock pot into gravy by pouring them in a saucepan with either flour or corn starch.
Enjoy
