Lemon and a hint of garlic add a lovely touch to these moist slices of slow-cooked turkey breast. I usually serve the gravy over a combination of white and brown rice, along with broccoli for a healthy meal. —Lynn Laux of Ballwin, Missouri

Ingredients

1 bone-in turkey breast (5 to 6 pounds)
1 medium lemon, halved
