Print Pin
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 hours
Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Butterball boneless turkey breast roast with the cooking netting and included gravy packet, fully thawed
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • Salt, black pepper, and poultry seasoning, to taste
  • 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • Fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage sprigs

Instructions

  • Remove the outer packaging and set the gravy packet aside. Leave the inner string cooking netting on the turkey. Pat the turkey dry.
  • Pour the apple cider and orange juice into your crockpot. Add the turkey and season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
  • Mash the cranberry sauce and spread it over the turkey. Lay the whole sprigs of rosemary, thyme, and sage on top.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH. Mine took 6 hours, but cooking time will vary with the size of your roast and crockpot. Check earlier and use a meat thermometer-the thickest part must reach 165°F.
  • Carefully lift the turkey out, saving the cranberries to spoon back over it. Let it rest for about 15 minutes, then gently remove the string netting.
  • Remove and discard the herb stems from the crockpot. Pour the cooking juices into a saucepan and add the included gravy packet. Follow the packet’s directions, using the drippings in place of the liquid called for. Simmer, whisking, until thickened.
  • Slice the turkey, spoon the cranberries back over it, and pour that delicious gravy on top! 😍.
