  1. Tremendous sale on turkey breasts and I remembered seeing this recipe. Always looking for easy meals for my crock pot, this seemed just perfect as it would yield lots of leftovers more many different uses. I marinated my turkey for 20 hours before cooking. The results were just marvelous a falling apart tender meat which was bursting with citrus and herbal flavors. I just loved it. The pan drippings were too strong to use alone so I mixed two parts strained and skimmed drippings with one part broth and thickened ever so slightly with some arrowroot. Served with mashed cauliflower and steamed broccoli and carrots it was a divine comfort meal. Thanks mikekey. Made for the Went to the Market Game.
     
  2. Easily earns 5 stars! The turkey was so flavorful, moist and super easy to make! I marinated mine for about 2 hours and cooked it on low in the crock pot for 7 hours - it was just right! I served with recipe#222691 seemed to compliment the turkey perfectly!
     
  3. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts because the store was out of turkey breasts, and served it with green beans. Easy to prepare and the taste was okay, but bland. The white wine overpowers a little and you get a hint of mustard, but other than that we couldn't really taste any of the other flavors. I probably wouldn't make this again, but thanks for sharing anway. It was worth a try, and I think it would be better chopped up and used for chicken salad or in alfredo or something rather than being just served hot.
     
  4. This is a great recipe for dinner and the leftovers make great sandwiches! I used a 3 lb boneless turkey and cooked it in the slowcooker for about 5 hours. Came out just right!! The only ingredient I didn't have was rosemary so I substituted dried thyme. Delish!
     
  5. Outstanding taste and outstandingly easy. I used the marinade and cooking process with chicken breasts in place of turkey and as they came out of the crock nicely cooked and very flavorful they were dead white. I sprinkled then with a mixed herb mix and put them under the broiler for just long enough to give them a blush of color. I used the 2 servings size for the chicken and the amounts worked out just fine. Thank you Mikekey for another keeper.
