I've been relying on this recipe for tender turkey since I first moved out on my own years ago. I serve it whenever I invite new guests to the house, and I'm constantly writing out the recipe. —Kathy-Jo Winterbottom, Pottstown, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bay leaves

  • 3 turkey breast tenderloins (3/4 pound each)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the wine, onion, garlic and bay leaves. Combine rosemary and pepper; rub over turkey. Place in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours or until turkey is tender.
