Slow Cooker Turkey Breast with Mustard Sauce

You are probably wondering why I am posting a turkey recipe in the spring. Well, I bought a new Crock-Pot Slow Cooker from Costco last week and wanted to try a new Turkey Breast with Mustard Sauce recipe for my spring soloist feast.

No need to dirty another pan fo the gravy; it comes together right in the slow cooker. A quick broil after cooking helps brown the turkey breast skin. Add some traditional sides like potatoes, vegetables, biscuits and cranberry sauce for a complete feast.

Turkey Breast for a Spring Feast

So this year I cooked a turkey breast instead of the traditional spring ham. Nobody complained and we have turkey leftover for turkey sandwiches for lunch.
