Yes, that is exactly what I have, LOL, and it is the dark/white meat one too. How big is your crockpot? I have never even thought of cooking it in the crock pot, how do you do it?

I am making my dressing and deviled eggs tomorrow, then cooking the green beans which are already blanched, the turkey and the mashed potatoes on Thursday. It might be a lot easier to just put the turkey into the crock pot, LOL.

I put my 3-pound Butterball turkey breast in the fridge yesterday and it is already thawed out. I did exchange it for a normal one.

Just checked, and my turkey is totally thawed. It is so weird because it was so rock solid frozen, hard to believe it is already thawed, LOL.

Dipo, sorry I'm so late getting back. I cooked it overnight Tuesday night. Just fits in my 2.5 quart crock pot. Pour a little EV olive oil over and rub in. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried minced onion, parsley, basil, and oregano. Put it in the pot. Just a little water in the bottom. Cook it on low for 12 hours. I cook everything on low for app. 12 hours. What I learned this time -- don't start slicing / cutting it too soon. When you do, the whole thing pretty much falls apart. Since it was Wednesday morning when it was done, I let it cool a little, then wrapped in plastic, and put it in fridge for today. Sliced up perfectly -- better than it had in the past. Good eatin'.

I wish those roasts were available year 'round. Don't think they are. Found out yesterday that Butterball help line is in Naperville, IL. That's only 'bout ten miles from me.

Rosie, took a minute and then I got it, LMAO. I couldn't believe how strong they were, especially the shallots. Normally chopping onions doesn't bother me at all.

Thanks Color. I will try that next time. I wonder why they aren't available year round, you should phone that in to the hot line.

I really like them, maybe I will pick up another one or two for the freezer next time I am at the store.

Maybe they are year 'round. But I think I have looked in the past and haven't found them then -- only annually during holiday season. I e-mailed Butterball and asked. I'll let you know.

NEW Q: So I am making prime rib and my recipe, no peeky roast beefy, is for 5-6 pounds, and my roast is 8, bone in. They way the recipe says to cook is 1.5 hours.

It also says for 10-12 pounds to cook for 60 minutes.

I can't decide how long to cook my 8 pounds. Any ideas?? Thanks.

ONe thing I have always wondered, when they say to check the temp guage to make sure it is, say 140, is that before it rests or after it rests.

I keep thinking I show take it out at 130 since it will keep cooking after it comes out of the oven.

Everything I read says to cook it to the desired temp and then take it out to rest.
