Savory Roasted Turkey in a Crockpot

Savory Roasted Turkey in a Crockpot
From Wendi

1 Tbs. Italian seasoning
2 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. dry ground mustard
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 turkey breast with bone, no legs (about 7-9 lbs.) fresh or frozen
2 bay leaves
2 stalks celery
1 onion,
quartered
1 small orange, quartered
1-2 Tbs. olive oil

Combine first 5 ingredients; set aside. Wash turkey breast and remove giblets. Place the turkey breast in the crock-pot. Sprinkle 2 tsp of seasoning mixture inside the turkey breast cavity. Stuff bay leaves, celery stalks, onion, and orange inside turkey. Turn over. Rub oil and remaining seasoning mixtures over entire surface of turkey. Replace lid. Bake 4-6 hours on low or until meat thermometer reads 180 F in breast. Serves 8-10. **You can use 2 chickens instead of turkey breast and split the ingredients between them. Potatoes and carrots can be added to complete the meal. The leftovers make a wonderful turkey noodle soup with just a hint of orange.
