An excellent meal! The basting sauce really compliments the flavor of the turkey without overpowering the meal. I served it with candied carrots and green beans. I used a whole turkey breast, and doubled the sauce to accomodate the larger turkey breast, cooking it slowly in a covered roaster in the oven (about 3 1/2 hours at 300 F).

Loved this recipe & will make it often. It tasted great & cut very well. Added the 1/4 milk for gravy which was all gone on the first serving. I served this for dinner, then in pasta. Finished it off with turkey sandwiches. Thank you Stephanine C

What a wonderful recipe! I made it as written, just doubling the sauce for a larger turkey breast. The leftover sauce has been tremendous over cooked carrots and green beans. This will be a "regular" for me!

My AC is broken so I was looking for a crockpot recipe but I didn't want a stew or casserole type. When I ran across this recipe, I hit on a winner! This was fabulous. I followed your directions exactly. Fifteen minutes before we ate, I added 1/4 cup milk to make a "gravy" to spoon over the turkey. I served it with Mashed Potatoes and steamed carrots. It was like Thankgiving in August and I didn't have to heat up the kitchen! I will make this again and again. Thanks for posting a great recipe.

This would have been good as posted. Decided to use suggestions form a few other cooks and a couple additions of my own. Doubled sauce. Added milk at the end. Also added a dalop of sour cream and some grated parm. Shreaded chicken breast in sauce and served over wheat pasta with steamed broccoli. Yum!
