Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Turkey Breast

I have been making my turkey or turkey breast in a slow cooker for many years now.  Mainly because the first time I had made turkey for my husband (he had never had turkey before) he felt that it didn’t have any flavour and was way to dry.  He also wants the flavours to be through out the whole turkey breast and not just on the outside.  This hasn’t always been an easy thing to do.  I would make a paste of spices and make slits in the turkey, so that there was spices through out the turkey as I did in this recipe:  Spiced Crock Pot Turkey Breast .

My job has gotten a lot easier since I started using Injectables from Gourmet Warehouse.
