Steps:
- Unwrap turkey breast, making sure to leave the netting on the turkey, and place into a slow cooker. I use a 6-qt crock pot.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the turkey and rub it in. In a mixing bowl combine cranberry sauce, onion seasoning mix, and orange juice. Pour over the turkey.
- Cook on LOW heat for 5-7 hours. Internal temperature needs to be at least 165 degrees. Mine cooked for 6 hours.
- Take turkey breast out of the crock pot and place onto the serving plate. Cover with tin foil to keep it hot. Skim the fat pieces from the crock pot. Pour the remaining liquid from the crockpot into a medium saucepan.
- Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Bring the sauce from the slow cooker to a boil. Once boiling add the cornstarch mixture and stir with a whisk until it's thickened. You may have to turn the heat down while doing this to prevent it from boiling too much and burning. It should only take between 1-2 minutes for it to thicken.
- Pour some of the gravy over the turkey breast and serve. I pour the extra sauce into a jar and set that out with the turkey so you can serve additional gravy with the turkey servings.

Tips:
- Choose a bone-in turkey breast for added flavor and moisture.
- Season the turkey breast generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Sear the turkey breast in a skillet over medium-high heat before transferring it to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the meat and lock in the juices.
- Add a cup of chicken broth or water to the slow cooker to prevent the turkey breast from drying out.
- Cook the turkey breast on low for 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the turkey breast is cooking, make the cranberry gravy by combining cranberries, orange juice, chicken broth, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cranberries have softened and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the turkey breast with the cranberry gravy, mashed potatoes, and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
