Citrus Turkey Roast

SUBMITTED BY: Kathy Kittell

"'I was skeptical at first about fixing turkey in a slow cooker,' admits Kathy Kittell from Lenexa, Kansas. 'But once I tasted this dish, I was hooked. With a little cornstarch to thicken the juices, the gravy is easily made.'"

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 pounds frozen boneless turkey roast, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup chicken broth, divided
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white wine, or additional chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cut roast in half. Combine the garlic powder, paprika, oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; rub over turkey. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the garlic, 1/2 cup broth, water, wine or additional broth, orange juice and lemon juice. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees F.
  2. Remove turkey and keep warm. Discard garlic cloves. For gravy, combine cornstarch and remaining broth until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes or until thickened. Slice turkey; serve with gravy.

The juice from this made excellent gravy but I had to modify the cooking time. For those of us who commute and work, a 5-hour cooking time does not work. So, I kept the roast slightly frozen and did not cut it in half. It cooked for 10 hours and was delicious!

Not bad; the turkey was moist and flavorful, but the garlic overwhelmed any hint of citrus flavor. Might try again with half the garlic.

This was a fabulous recipe. I love the citrus taste. I adjusted the spices because I have small children and it worked very well. It was also good as leftovers; on sandwiches, mixed with gravy and rice. My family loved it.
