Best Crock Pot Turkey!

While I was shopping for meat the other day I saw bone-in turkey breast, and remembered that turkey breast made in the slow cooker was moist and delicious. Who needs Thanksgiving to enjoy turkey? I thought it would be a nice change of pace from all the chicken the girls have been eating. There’s a popular recipe that includes turkey breast and a packet of onion soup mix. This GAPS-friendly turkey breast recipe is just as tasty and a lot healthier! You can even use the drippings to make gravy using either a traditional method with starch or using Great Lakes Kosher Beef Gelatin for a grain-free, GAPS-friendly gravy. My favorite slow cooker is this one; it’s a nice large size and you can lock the lid for transporting a meal somewhere.

Ingredients

• 4 lb bone-in (or out) turkey breast (any size works)
• ¼ cup duck fat (or fat of your choice)
• 4 tbsp dried minced onions
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp ground pepper
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1½ cups chicken broth

Instructions

1. Mix the spices together in a small bowl
2. Pat dry the turkey breast
3. Note: I leave the skin on because that fatty skin contains some super nutritious gelatin. However, it won't crisp up in the crock pot, so feel free to remove it after it has been cooked.
4. Rub the turkey breast liberally on all sides with the duck fat
5. Spread the spice mixture on all sides of the turkey breast
6. Place turkey breast in slow cooker
7. Pour in the chicken broth
8. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours
