1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

Tips:

  • To enhance the flavor of your turkey breast, consider brining it overnight in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices. This will help the turkey retain moisture and develop a more flavorful crust.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the turkey breast dry before cooking and rub it with a mixture of oil and spices. You can also sprinkle some flour or cornstarch on the skin to help it crisp up.
  • Cook the turkey breast on a rack placed in a slow cooker filled with water or broth. This will help prevent the turkey from sticking to the bottom of the cooker and will also allow the juices to circulate, resulting in a more evenly cooked bird.
  • Baste the turkey breast with the cooking liquid every hour or so to keep it moist. You can also add additional vegetables or herbs to the slow cooker for extra flavor.
  • Allow the turkey breast to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

With its tender meat and flavorful sauce, the Santa Fe Turkey Breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a holiday gathering. The slow-cooker method ensures that the turkey is cooked to perfection, and the Santa Fe-inspired sauce adds a unique and flavorful twist to this classic dish. Whether you serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite vegetables, this Santa Fe Turkey Breast is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
