Like most people, we have a one oven set up in our kitchen. (I dream of a double!) Until then, on Thanksgiving we join the voices across the nation calling for as many Thanksgiving dishes as possible to not need oven space to be prepared. Slow cooker turkey breast? The best! It clears the oven and get the meat so tender and flavorful. I don’t go for the slow cooker on most things, but here, it really works. Also most of us prefer white meat.
