Santa Fe Turkey Breast


Since it is Thanksgiving I thought I would post this turkey recipe I tried awhile ago. It has such a unique taste that we had never tasted and we really liked it. It's a slow cooker crock pot recipe.

Ingredients:

1 bone-in split turkey breast (about 5 lb), thawed if frozen
1 cup Thick 'n Chunky salsa
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp chopped chipotle chile in adobo sauce (from 7-oz can)
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water

Directions:

SPRAY 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place turkey in cooker. In small bowl, mix salsa, honey and chile; pour over turkey.
COVER and cook in crock pot on Low heat setting 6 to 7 hours.
REMOVE turkey from cooker. Remove skin from turkey breast. Cut turkey into slices; place on platter and cover to keep warm. Pour juices from cooker into 4-cup microwavable measuring cup or bowl. In small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into juices in cup. Microwave uncovered on High 3 to 5 minutes, stirring every minute, until mixture boils and thickens. Serve with turkey.

Gina’s Tips
Serve with Spanish rice, a green tossed salad, warm flour tortillas and corn on the cob to create a southwestern flair.
