Crock Pot Orange Turkey Roast

1 whole turkey breast (whatever will fit completely in your size of crock pot)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 (t-oz.) can frozen orange jucie concentrate (thawed)
1/2 cup water

"This is a great Sunday meal or for holidays.  The night before, put 1/2 cup water in bottom of crock pot, then place a whole turkey breast in and lightly salt and pepper (remember more salt is yet to come).  Then turn crock pot on low and let simmer all night.  In the early morning, mix the remaining 7 ingredients together.  Drain from crock pot first the drippings and water from the night before and save this to make gravy, in case you will be having potatoes.  Then pour orange/butter mixture over top of turkey and let it run down the sides.  Occasionally, you may want to spoon it back over turkey or turn turkey so that all parts can soak in orange mixture.  Keep crock pot on low and continue cooking until mid-day.  We like this on a Sunday, when we have morning meetings so that we can just come home and dive in.

You can remove turkey roast from crock pot and let stand 5-10 mi.  before cutting.  After you have sliced it you can take a spoonful of orange sauce to drip back over meat.  Leftovers make great sandwiches, if there is any leftover!"
