The recipe for Stickey Chicken works well for turkey breast too. Must be thawed, rub with the seasonings and refrigerte overnight, then put it in the crockpot. Yum! Takes a little more planning though. :( Deanna

This is easy but delicious (from eatingwell.com) Slow cooker braised pork with tomatillo salsa 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, or butt [i use loin] 1 1/2 cups prepared tomatillo salsa 1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth [I use 1 cup or less] 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, or ground cumin 3 plum tomatoes, (1/2 pound), thinly sliced [I usually use drained diced fire roasted tomatoes from a can] 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream Directions: Trim and discard pork surface fat. Cut meat apart following layers of fat around muscles; trim and discard fat. Cut into 2-inch chunks and rinse with cold water. Place in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Turn heat to high. Combine salsa, broth, onion and cumin seeds in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour over the meat. Add tomatoes and mix gently. Put the lid on and cook until the meat is pull-apart tender, 6 to 7 hours. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a large bowl; cover and keep warm. Pour the sauce and vegetables into a large skillet; skim fat. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil, skimming froth from time to time, for about 20 minutes, to intensify flavors and thicken slightly. Add the pork and 1/4 cup cilantro; heat through. To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Oven method: Total: 3 hours Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine pork, salsa, 1/2 cup chicken broth, onion, cumin seeds and tomatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; cover snugly with foil. Bake until the pork is pull-apart tender, about 2 1/4 hours. Skim fat. Uncover and bake until the meat begins to brown, about 15 minutes more. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro. Ladle into bowls, garnish with sour cream and remaining cilantro. Note---I usually I don't have time to start and/or finish the sauce on the stovetop, and it still tastes very good.
