Slow Cooker Turkey with No-Fuss Gravy
"The one thing to keep a very, very close eye on is the salt content of this recipe. If you can't find no-salt added chicken broth and use low-sodium, take care not to oversalt the turkey breast because the gravy will be too salty. I used low-sodium chicken broth and only used about 1 teaspoon salt over the entire turkey breast and it was probably on the verge of being too salty. Keep in mind that you can always add salt at the end but it's hard to take away if you've oversalted at the beginning. Got it? Great. Also, you definitely need a large, oval slow cooker for this recipe. Even still, I had to scrap using the lid and cover the turkey and slow cooker with a few layers of foil. Worked perfectly...."
