Ingredients

  • 1 (5-7 lbs) boneless turkey breast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (14 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 packet onion soup seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup orange juice

Gravy

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water

Instructions

  • Unwrap turkey breast, making sure to leave the netting on the turkey, and place into a slow cooker. I use a 6-qt crock pot. 
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the turkey and rub it in. In a mixing bowl combine cranberry sauce, onion seasoning mix, and orange juice. Pour over the turkey.
  • Cook on LOW heat for 5-7 hours. Internal temperature needs to be at least 165 degrees. Mine cooked for 6 hours. 
  • Take turkey breast out of the crock pot and place onto the serving plate. Cover with tin foil to keep it hot. Skim the fat pieces from the crock pot. Pour the remaining liquid from the crockpot into a medium saucepan.
  • Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Bring the sauce from the slow cooker to a boil. Once boiling add the cornstarch mixture and stir with a whisk until it's thickened. You may have to turn the heat down while doing this to prevent it from boiling too much and burning. It should only take between 1-2 minutes for it to thicken. 
  • Pour some of the gravy over the turkey breast and serve. I pour the extra sauce into a jar and set that out with the turkey so you can serve additional gravy with the turkey servings.

Notes

Calorie information is for 5 ounces of turkey breast (size of your palm) with 1/4 cup gravy. 
 
Keep the netting on the turkey breast while it's cooking. Remove it only after the cook time. The netting helps the turkey keep it's shape during the cook time.
