CROCKPOT WEDNESDAY

Turkey is not just for Thanksgiving. It is a lean alternative and very tasty in this recipe from THE CROCKIN' GIRLS SLOW COOKIN' COMPANION.

LEMON PEPPER TURKEY BREAST

4-5 lb. turkey breast, frozen or thawed

1 large onion, diced

3 stalks celery, diced

1/2 c. butter, melted (I will probably lessen this amount)

salt, to taste (I omit)

lemon pepper seasoning, to taste

1 (14 oz.) can chicken broth (I use low-sodium)

DIRECTIONS:

Defrost turkey (if frozen) and rinse in cool water. Pat dry. Put onion and celery in slow cooker; place turkey breast upright over the veggies. Pour the melted butter over the turkey breast, then sprinkle with salt and lemon pepper seasoning, to taste. Pour the broth around the turkey (not over the top; you don't want to rinse your seasonings off); cover and cook on HIGH for 6-7 hours.
