My fellow foodie Lynn T. made this. See her notes, I can't wait to try it out:
Turkey in a Crockpot with a holiday flair Source: Taste of Home's Quick Cooking Magazine, September/October 2003 Recipe by: Lois W. of Okeechobee, Florida Servings: 10
1 (3-4-lb) turkey breast (see Lynn's note)* 1 (16 oz) can whole berry style cranberry sauce 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup apple juice 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cold water 1/4 teaspoon browning sauce (Kitchen Bouquet)*
Place the turkey skin side up in a 5-quart slow cooker. Combine the cranberry sauce, sugar, apple juice, vinegar, garlic, mustard, cinnamon, cloves and allspice; pour over turkey. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees. Remove turkey to a cutting board; keep warm. Strain cooking juices.
In a saucepan, combine flour and water until smooth; gradually stir in strained juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in browning sauce if desired. Serve with sliced turkey. Yield: 12 to 16 servings.
Recipe shared by Lois Woodward of Okeechobee, Florida: "I use this recipe often for an easy Sunday dinner. The turkey breast gets a 'holiday treatment' when served with cranberry gravy seasoned with cinnamon, cloves and allspice."
*Lynn's notes: I used a bone in turkey breast and put it skin side down, cooking it for 7 hours. This was so easy and tasted great. I did omit the browning sauce because the gravy was brown enough. - Lynn T.
