Crockpot Turkey

Whenever someone on my cooking message board updates their food blog, they post what's known as a "BU" - a blog update. This way, others can ogle new dishes and recipes when they are "fresh."


Because I subscribe to about eleventy billion food blogs, I don't always read these BU posts; chances are, I'll see it in my google reader. For some reason, however, I clicked on this one particular post (I don't even remember what it was for!) and saw a blog whose name, Erica's Kitchen Adventures, I didn't recognize. So I added it to my Google Reader and... lo and behold, it was new to me! I immediately went through her list and starred a whole bunch of recipes, including this one for Crockpot Turkey.


Ingredients
  • 2.5-3 lb turkey breast
  • About 32 ou turkey or veggie broth (I used vegetable)
  • 1/2 c white wine
  • About 4 carrots, sliced
  • 4-5 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 leek, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced into half moons
  • Sage
  • Rosemary
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Flour (optional - I used about 1/2 cup and could have used a little more)
  • Egg noodles

Directions:
Place all ingredients except for the flour and noodles in the crockpot and cook on low for 7-9 hours.

Remove the turkey (leave broth and veggies in the pot) and shred or slice.

If you would like - add some flour to the broth to make a thicker sauce.

Cook your egg noodles according to package directions.

Serve the turkey and sauce over the noodles. Enjoy!! This would probably be great with some good bread!
