It's the star of the Thanksgiving table, but with a twist! Try slow-cooker turkey breast with gravy this year. The slow-cooker saves basting time and cooks the turkey breast to perfection, leaving time to focus on all-important side dishes. This recipe is diabetes-approved and sure to be a holiday favorite. We recommend pairing it with our Cheesy Green Bean Keto Casserole.
