I'm all for turkey dinner, especially around the holidays. A whole turkey won't fit in my slow cooker, so thank goodness for turkey breast. I cook it with my grandma's easy stuffing recipe for a happy meal that doesn't require any hard work. —Camille Beckstrand, Layton, Utah

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless turkey breast halves (1 pound each) or 2 pounds turkey breast tenderloins
1 jar (12 ounces) turkey gravy, divided
