Description

This is an incredible recipe to make turkey and turkey gravy. It's so juicy, the turkey comes out perfectly every single time. Even people who aren't crazy about turkey will appreciate it.

Ingredients

• 4 lb. turkey breast, skin on, bone in or boneless, thawed if frozen
• 1 whole head garlic, cut in half horizontally
• 1 onion, unpeeled, cut in half
• 5 thyme sprigs (or 2 t. dried thyme)
• Turkey Rub:
• 1 1/2 t. garlic powder
• 1 1/2 t. onion powder
• 1 t. paprika
• 2 t. salt
• 5 grinds freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 - 2 T. olive oil
• Gravy:
• chicken stock, chicken broth or water, for topping up liquid to 2 c., if needed
• 4 T. butter
• 1/4 c. flour
• salt and pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Place rub ingredients in a bowl; stir to combine. It will be a wet paste.
2. Pat turkey dry all over with paper towels. Slather the rub on all over, using most for the sides and top.
3. Place garlic, onion and thyme face down in a slow cooker large enough to hold the turkey breast; place turkey on top to elevate it.
