Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have cranberry sauce on hand, you can use a 12-ounce package of fresh cranberries and 1/2 cup of sugar. Combine the cranberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
• To make this dish ahead of time, cook the turkey breast in the slow cooker as directed and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the turkey breast in the slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours, or until warmed through.
• Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and roasted vegetables.
