This isn't spicy, but it's "herby" and delicious. The cream cheese and spices make a paste that forms sort of a moist crust on the outside of the turkey. It's rather unusual -- and it's become our favorite turkey recipe. :-)

1 (5 to 6 lb.) turkey breast, fresh or thawed
2 Tbsp. butter
1 green onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, chopped fine
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. minced, fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp. pepper

Place turkey in crock pot with 1/4 cup water. Combine remaining ingredients and spread over outside of turkey. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours.
