I've made this several times and we love it! I do not miss the browned skin at all! If you want the skin browned, maybe you should throw it under the broiler and brown the skin and dry it out! But there goes the 'moist' part of this recipe! Also, as with ANY turkey, if there is not enough 'juice' for the gravy, simply ADD some broth! I do not think any meat should be put in a slow cooker when it is still frozen!

I first saw a recipe for turkey in the slow cooker about 2 years ago and have been cooking it just like this every since. The spices here are wonderful. I do add water or broth about 1/3 of the way up the side of the turkey. I prefer turkey to be moist and this really does the trick. Sometimes, i just add liquid then sprinkle with Lipton powdered onion soup. I love making it and keeping leftovers in the freezer for sandwiches and casseroles. I keep telling friends about this and everyone loves it. Excellent.

What if you use a frozen breast? How long do you think it would take? I'm generally away from home for 9-10 hours so I don't know if this would work for me.

Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to the crockpot and you will get plenty of broth for turkey or beef rump roast. Make sure you season the turkey.

I'm sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped. I have noticed that some brands of breasts come out with more juice than others. On average, with a Jenni-o or Honeysuckle White brand breast I get 1 1/2-2 cups of juice to base my gravy off of. If you find that you don't have enough juice, you can always add chicken broth (I'd use reduced sodium) to get the desired volume. You'll never get brown skin out of a slow cooker. Just ain't gonna happen. For that you'll definitely have to roast it in the oven!

My 6-lb. turkey was done in 6 hours, next time I'll start checking it after 5 hours. I used my 7-Qt. slow cooker, and used 2 tsps dried rosemary in place of the fresh. -Lori in WI

Yes, it was moist, but I miss that appetizing browning of the skin and it doesn't make much gravy. I won't make it again.

This was moist, delicious, and simple to make! I used a smaller turkey because I have a smaller crockpot and cooked it on high for the first hour and it still took about four hours for the button to pop. YUMMY!

I made Moist and Tender Turkey Breast yesterday. It was delicious! I am definitely going to put this recipe into my rotation of family favorites! My turkey was a little larger and took 7 hours on low for the pop-up timer to pop.
