THANKSGIVING 2024 - SLOW COOKER TURKEY BREAST RECIPE; Quartzsite-AZ

Thanksgiving is celebrated on a different date every year because it is always the 4th Thursday of November: a good day filled with delicious kitchen scents hovering in the background.

Every couple of Thanksgivings, I like to try a new turkey recipe … this year the following recipe sounded interesting, and it's a spice combination I've not ever considered. However, the past 24 months have been something new, too: new husband, new experiences, new life. This recipe seems to fit all that "newness" ;-)

Spicy rub ingredients.
Gravy ingredients.
butter-spice rub & rosemary sprigs go under loosened skin.
Into the pot  around 10:30 AM, & set to High to cook for 4 hours.

When Holland saw the buttery rub, he thought I was going to smear a mustard concoction on the turkey breast; I laughed, and told him the yellow is turmeric.

I also fleshed the turkey out with a cooked yam (split for 2), mashed potatoes (2 med. spuds), stuffing, gravy (1 cup), & a small store-bought pumpkin pie - our little feast was perfect for a couple. Holland was happy there was no dietary restrictions, today (no pictures though, because hunger overrode picture snapping).

Dinner fare to be cooked in a staggered manner.

The turkey was tasty, tender, and just right for two people: 2 slices a piece, and 2 slices to refrigerate for later.

After Supper dishes were done, we went for a short drive before sunset.

I usually start getting my December Holiday stuff in place as soon as the Thanksgiving stuff is cleared away … but this year we will be moving December 3rd, so, I'll wait until we are parked in Fortuna-AZ to pull the bin out; and start putting stuff in place.
