Let's face it, turkey can sometimes be a bit bland, but not with this recipe. A combination of spices and citrus juices turns a classic into a standout dish that everyone will love.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I left the turkey whole and it cooked just fine. I thought it might dry out if I cut it in half and cooked it that long. I did use a smaller crock so the turkey was covered more in liquid so maybe that's why if you are using a bigger crock cut it in half to make sure it's more covered.
Hi, I am a bit stumped by the instruction to cut the turkey breast in half. Is that necessary? Lengthwise? widthwise? Is it possible to take the breast out of the freezer and put it straight in the crock pot? Thanks for recommendations.
I believe it means to cut the turkey breast in half through the breast bone (so you get two breast halves). It's probably done to have the turkey cook more evenly and a little quicker. And please, do not put frozen poultry in the crockpot. You run the risk of getting food poisoning that way.

It was a easy recipe to follow. Only change made was - used 1/2 cup orange juice + 1 clementine juice. It was done in my new crockpot for 5 1/2 hours. It was moist and delicious. My family enjoyed it.Better than expected. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was a fairly easy dish to prepare. I had intended on using the crockpot, but stayed home so I baked it in the oven. I didn't have wine, so I added a little extra of the other liquids. Also, my turkey breast had the skin and bone. I skinned it and boned it. Since there was still meat on the bone, I cooked the carcass with the intent on making soup. The meat was picked off the bones by my husband. I will definitely make this again!! (but with a boneless turkey or even chicken breast)
