Turkey Pot Roast

September signals the end of lazy summer days. It's back to school which means homework, practices, games and 'meet-the-teacher' nights. Too often busy schedules can lead to unhealthy eating, but with this month's recipe there's no need for that to happen. Replace your traditional beef pot roast with our turkey pot roast and you'll eat fewer calories, saturated fat and cholesterol. You can put this meal on in the morning and it will be waiting for the family no matter what time they get home.

Ingredients:
3 lbs boneless, skinless turkey breast (turkey tenderloin can be substituted for turkey breast)
2 medium onions, sliced or quartered
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup low sodium chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 lbs small red potatoes
1 1/2 lbs peeled carrots, cut into 2" pieces or a 1 - 2 lb bag of baby carrots

Preparation:
Place turkey, onions, garlic, thyme, pepper, broth or water, and lemon juice in a crock pot or slow cooker*. Place potatoes and carrots around the turkey breast.

Cook 8 - 10 hours on low (or 4 - 5 hours on high)

*If you don't have a crock pot or slow cooker this recipe can be oven roasted at 350° for 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 hours.

Makes 6 servings
