"I was skeptical at first about fixing turkey in a slow cooker," admits Kathy Kittell from Lenexa, Kansas. "But once I tasted this dish, I was hooked. With a little cornstarch to thicken the juices, the gravy is easily made."

I had 3 turkey breast rolls, wrapped with bacon and rosemary and tied (bought this way) that I cooked in the slow cooker following this recipe. I forgot the paprika but followed everything else and my turkey rolls were to die for along with the gravy! Since I was cooking them one day and eating the next, I was able to drain off the grease (there was not too much) and then thicken the gravy. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
