After unwrapping the turkey breast, remove the neck and giblets. Some frozen turkey breast have more fat and skin than others. If your does, I recommend cutting away the excess. Less fat makes a much better gravy.

Ladle the gravy from the crock pot to a gravy boat or small pitcher. The gravy will be chunky with the bits of cranberries. It is not necessary, but if you prefer, pour the gravy through a mesh strainer for a smoother gravy.

  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
  • 2 Tbs. yellow mustard

Remove turkey breast to a serving plate/cutting board and allow to rest while preparing the gravy. Turn crock pot to high.

    I've been the proud owner of a crock pot for one week now – why did i never buy one before!!
    I'm on the look out for recipes and this one sounds great (and easy!), just a question – did you make up the onion soup with water or just use the powder in the cranberry sauce?
    We can't get tins of cranberry sauce here either but I can get lingonberry jam at IKEA which I think will make a good substitute.

    I got to check out everything; but, I believe this can be gluten free too! (I get GF onion soup mix on Amazon). I'm excited to try this out!
