How to make it
- **The Turkey must be roasted it in the oven, not in a slow cooker.**
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Sprinkle the turkey breast with salt and pepper; rub it in well. Place it on a rack in a roasting pan.
- In a saucepan, mix together all the ingredients for the bourbon sauce, and bring it to a simmer.
- Ladle enough of the sauce over the turkey breast to cover it well, put in preheated oven and roast for about 2 hours, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan to prevent the excess marinade from burning, if necessary.
- Baste with the sauce during the last 30 minutes or so of roasting, if desired.
- Let rest about 10 minutes before slicing.
