This week is all about make up games, add his summer league starting and we will not be home for dinner all week, we won't be home until probably 9 p.m. at the earliest. We played 51 hockey games last season and basically had practice every day and we never went a week without sitting at the dinner table as a family. Switch to baseball and Claire is going to forget who she lives with!
Sorry, got off on a tangent. Today's recipe is one that I use quite often for dinner because the meat is done when I walk in the door. I boil some water for mac and cheese, throw on some green beans and dinner is served in about 15 minutes AND it tastes like you really put some effort into it. It's a meal both of my children eat!! Plus this was a bonus meal because the turkey breast was on sale!!
What you'll need:
Bone in Turkey Breast..this one was almost 6 pounds
4 T butter
6 t Season Salt
2 t Cayenne Pepper
2 t Black Pepper
4 t Garlic Powder
Any other seasoning you want to throw in there would be just fine.
Mix the seasoning together and sprinkle all over the turkey. If you want to rub it in, that's fine, I just really don't like touching raw turkey or chicken. Put 1/2 C water in bottom of crockpot. Put turkey into crock. Put pats of butter on top of turkey. You can throw in the refrigerator at this point until morning or plug in the crockpot and cook on low for 9-11 hours.
Give the turkey a poke and see that the juices run clear and it's not tough. If it's tough, it needs to cook a bit longer.
Slice the turkey, serve and put those leftovers to use the rest of the week. Sandwiches, hot dishes, soup, salads, the possibilities are endless.
The beauty of the crockpot is that it won't heat up your house in the summer but you have the wonderful smell of dinner being done when you walk in the door.
