Prep

Step 1. Arrange Onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Season Turkey Breast all over with half the Salt, the Black Pepper, Thyme, and Sage. Set it on the onion and pour in Chicken Broth.
Step 2. Cover and cook on low until the thickest part of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C) without touching bone, about 4 to 5 hours. Transfer to a board, tent loosely with foil, and rest while you finish the sides and gravy.
Step 3. Meanwhile, near the end of cooking, cover Potato with cold water in a large pot and add the rest of the Salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until easily pierced, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot off the heat.
Step 4. Mash the potatoes with Butter and Milk until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

Step 5. Meanwhile, cook Green Beans in a pot of boiling water until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain and cover to keep warm.
Step 6. Strain the turkey juices into a saucepan and skim off excess fat. Stir Cornstarch and Water together, whisk into the juices, and simmer over medium heat until the gravy coats a spoon, about 3 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Remove the turkey from the bone and slice against the grain. Serve with the mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.

Tips

Good to know

Check the turkey with an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part; it is safe at 165°F.

Swap it

Use unsweetened soy milk in the potatoes and olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free dinner.

Leftovers

Refrigerate the sliced turkey, gravy, and sides promptly in shallow containers and eat within 3 to 4 days.
