When my friend Diana told me I could make a turkey breast right in my crockpot I was definitely intrigued! A snow storm was coming and I knew it would be the perfect snowy meal. Well….it was! I bought a 7 lb breast which fit snuggly in my crockpot so don’t buy one that isn’t too large and won’t fit! The house smelled amazing and this turkey fell right off the bone when it was done! Easiest turkey ever!
