Week 30: Recipe #4--Cranberry Turkey in a Slow Cooker

With all of the cold weather we've been having lately, this recipe was the perfect one to come home to...smelled so good, and reminded me of Thanksgiving.  The sauce was REALLY tasty; we all loved it.  I found this recipe on a site called Slow and Simple (see link below), and it was exactly that.  The only thing that I'd do differently next time is make sure that my husband buys a turkey breast, not tenderloins.  We cooked them for the same time given for the breast, and they were a bit dry.  Still tasty, though!  One review said to use skinned turkey legs, they absorbed the flavor better.  Might try that as well.  I served these with mashed potatoes and green peas.  Servings vary based on the size of the turkey breast.
