What You'll Need

3 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons ground sage
6 pounds boneless turkey breasts
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon corn starch

What to Do

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt margarine. Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned. Whisk in flour and cook an additional 1 minute. Whisk in broth, water, and sage, until combined. Pour mixture into slow cooker.
Sprinkle turkey breast evenly with paprika, salt, and pepper. Place turkey in slow cooker (breast-side down). Cover and cook on LOW 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 hours or HIGH 3 to 3-1/2 hours, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165 degrees F. Then, remove turkey to a cutting board.
In a small bowl, whisk together corn starch and 2 tablespoons water. Stir into slow cooker and heat 5 to 10 minutes or until thickened. Carve turkey, discard skin, and top with gravy.
