Will the recipe for Herb Crusted Turkey Breast work the same if the turkey breast is sliced?It's not cooked.
Janet – It may not need as long to cook, but it should work okay. Might be a tad bit on the dry side though.
Do you think I should add any liquid?
Janet – No, you don't need to. At least I didn't when I made it.
I made it with the sliced turkey breast fillets and it turned out great. Not dry at all. It did cook in about 3 hrs but it also was a total of about 2.3 lbs insread of 2.5.
Janet – Fabulous! We're happy it worked out!
Your picture shows the skin on the turkey – your recipe says take the skin off – how can you get it browned without the skin??
Judy, It should have said we removed skin before eating. Just made the correction…thanks!
Hi! For a larger turkey breast (5 lbs), would I just double the cooking time? Or would that be too long? Thanks!
Amanda, If the turkey fits in your slow cooker, you will need to cook it 1-2 hours longer. Be sure to check for doneness with the steps indicated in the recipe.
