Turkey |

Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 4 pounds turkey breast, skin on, bone in or boneless (if using frozen, thaw it)
1 head of garlic, cut in half horizontally
1 onion, unpeeled, cut in half
5 sprigs of thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried thyme)
|
|
Directions: |
Directions:Pat the turkey dry all over with paper towels. Slather with the rub, using most for the side and top.
Place the garlic, onion and thyme face down in the slow cooker. Place the turkey breast on top so it is elevated. Slow cook on low for 6 hours or until internal temperature reads 165°F when thermometer is inserted into the middle. Check internal temperature at 5 hours, if you can.
Remove turkey from the slow cooker (do not leave in slow cooker on warm setting) and let it rest for 20 minutes before crisping the skin.
Preheat broiler.
Place an oven shelf 1 foot from the heat source. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Keep an eye on it; it browns very quickly!
Serve immediately with gravy on the side. |
