I gathered my supplies. 8 oz. pkg. herb-flavored stuffing mix
1/2 c. hot water
2 T. butter, melted
1 onion, chopped
1/2 c. celery, chopped
1/4 c. sweetened, dried cranberries
3-lb. boneless turkey breast
1/4 t. dried basil
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
And let me just say that I nearly peed the rug when I saw my Pampered Chef chopper on Real Housewives of New Jersey last week. Teresa's juicy hubby, Joe, was chopping. I exclaimed "I have that same chopper! I'm just like Teresa!" Dr. Hubby rolled his eyes.
You combine the stuffing mix, water, butter, onion, celery, and cranberries in the slow cooker and mix well.
Sprinkle the yucky looking creepy feeling did I just have to cut this thing out of a net turkey breast with basil, salt, and pepper and place on top of the stuffing mixture. Cover and cook on low setting for 6 to 7 hours.
Remove turkey and slice...gently stir stuffing mixture and let sit for 5 minutes. I served it with corn and cranberry sauce {shaped like a can of course}.Now for the miracle...
While this was cooking I managed to get our home clean. I am talking "my mom is arriving any minute" clean! Manga Dork set the table...the tv was turned off...we ALL sat down at the same time and the same table...Dr. hubby said our blessing...and we ate as a family. I could have cried. What a blessing!
The meal was ok...it wasn't the best I have ever eaten. Manga Dork said it was her least favorite of my meals so far. My MIL said it was good. My FIL said he was so proud and impressed with my efforts lately. I'm adding it to the box...but not sure I will fix it if a better recipe comes along.
Happy 36th anniversary to my MIL and FIL!

You put a lot of work into it! Good for you!
That is such a cute post. Sheesh, the way you make it sound your house is in total chaos all the time and this meal was a rare event.
Ya, if your house is in chaos all the time....you are so normal!

That stuffing sounds good, but I really can't handle touching raw poultry. It so grosses me out!

Very interesting. I hadn't thought about doing a turkey breast in the slow cooker but I like the idea.
My slow cooker is my friend. I love the New Jersey girls!

Hey not all recipes are winners.
When I try a new recipe I do the same thing. I take a vote - Is it a keeper or not?
If the majority says "No" it gets tossed.
There are just too many good recipes out there!
