OPEN FACE TURKEY SANDWICH

Crockpot open face turkey

Ingredients
•       1 (5-6 pounds) bone-in turkey breast completely thawed

•       2 yellow onions
•       1 cup chicken broth
•       6 tablespoons butter separated
Seasonings
•       1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
•       1 teaspoon seasoned salt
•       1 teaspoon paprika
•       1/2 teaspoon pepper
•       1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
•       1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
•       1/4 teaspoon dried sage
•       Optional: 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
1       Make sure the turkey breast is completely thawed -- this can take 1-2 days in the fridge so be prepared. It isn't food safe to thaw a turkey in the crockpot. See notes in the post for more details about thawing your turkey breast. Pat the turkey down with paper towels.
2       Spray a large crockpot (I use a 6 quart crockpot) with nonstick spray.
3       Cut one yellow onion into large chunks and add it to the bottom. Pour the chicken broth on top.
4       Cut off the skin of the turkey breast (OR leave it on, whatever you prefer
5       Place the turkey breast, BREAST DOWN ,Make sure the turkey is ELEVATED on top of the onion.
6       Cut the other onion in half and place inside the turkey with 4 tablespoons butter.
7       Stir together all of the seasonings and rub all over the turkey. If leaving the skin on, make sure to rub the seasonings under the skin.
8       Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and, using a pastry brush, brush it all over the turkey.
9       Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 1 hour and then low for 5-7 hours or until the turkey's internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
10      Remove the turkey from the crockpot and turn so it is breast up.
11      Start by removing the wishbone and then remove all the other bones and skin . Take the large pieces of meat and slice them. I used this recipe for my open face turkey meal. As pictured.
