How to Make Turkey With Mushroom Sauce

  1. Place a 3-4 lb bone-in turkey breast, skin side up, in a slow cooker or crock-pot.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it evenly over the turkey.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper over the turkey.
  4. Top the turkey with 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms.
  5. Pour 1 cup of dry white wine (or chicken broth) over the turkey and mushrooms.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the turkey is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the turkey from the slow cooker and keep it warm, loosely tented with foil.
  8. Skim off excess fat from the cooking juices in the slow cooker.
  9. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth.
  10. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of the cooking juices from the slow cooker.
  11. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
  12. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  13. Slice the turkey and serve it generously drizzled with the creamy mushroom sauce.
