For dinner this week I made slow cooker turkey breast and gravy. It had been too long since I had turkey. This recipe is so easy, no fussing with a whole turkey and separate stove-top gravy. The turkey and the gravy cook together. All I had to do is whip up mashed potatoes and steam green beans for this fabulous meal. I based the gravy in this Slow Cooker Turkey Breast and Gravy recipe from my most popular recipe Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy.

November 19, 2014 at 7:23 amWould cooking time be any different if you had a bone in turkey breast?
Sarah Olson says
November 19, 2014 at 7:28 amI would cook it for the same amount of time. I could a whole chicken for 5-6 hours on low. So I think it would be the same. 🙂

November 24, 2016 at 6:17 amDo you put the breast up or in the gravy?
Sarah Olson says
November 24, 2016 at 7:24 amI put the breast up (the skin side up) and set into the gravy.

November 19, 2017 at 9:49 amDo you add water to the can of soup?
Sarah Olson says
November 19, 2017 at 10:41 amNo, just the amount of water the recipe calls for 🙂
Rob Robbins says
November 22, 2017 at 4:19 pmI could only find 0.87 ounce packets of gravy mix so I’m going to use 3. Should the water be upped to 2 full cups? Or more?
Sarah Olson says
November 22, 2017 at 5:01 pmWhatever amount of water it says on the back, I’d cut down the water by a third each, so that sounds right to me.

November 23, 2017 at 4:57 amIs there any difference, if it’s a 6lb bone in turkey breast?
Sarah Olson says
November 23, 2017 at 7:12 amIt should work fine!
