Awesome idea. I bought a turkey breast to crockpot cook after some posts about that last week. (I wasn't sure if people were kidding, but what the heck)

Doing it is a crab boil is a great idea. We are cooking a traditional one too so that will be a great alternate dish.

We tried the crab boil turkey last year. As a fan of crab boil meats, I thought this would be a home run. Not exactly. Very salty and a bit gummy. But when turkeys go on sale for fifty cents a pound we like to do some experimenting. The trash can turkey came out the best. Plus the large UFO burnt circle in my dad's yard was a bonus!

I really crockpot turkey breast. I want pan drippings to make gravy for the cornbread dressing that accompanies our fried turkeys. We also do them often while camping. Turkey for dinner with no effort after a long day of hiking or white water rafting is money.

Tigertown ... don't get nervous about the crock pot turkey breast. They come out great, but you're not going to be able to slice it as it's going to fall apart. I do them all the time in place of pulled pork. This makes it great for adding it to gravy and dressing.

I've done them "BBQ'd" by putting a rub and dropping a dap of liquid smoke in the water.

I've done them Cuban style by injecting them with Goya brand Mojo Crollo marinade (my favorite).

For the holidays, I've done them injected with Cajun Injector brand Creole Butter.

I put them in my 7qt. oval crock pot with maybe an inch or 2 of liquid and let it roll on high.
