Dry as cork, but seasoned perfectly

Juicy Slow Cooker Turkey Breast... well it was a slow cooker turkey breast recipe... that's for sure. Let's start out with I don't do well with cooking meat. What I 'should' have done for this turkey breast was put a temperature probe in it and set it so I knew where it was... Did I? Nope. About 90 minutes before we were planning to eat I checked the temp and it was 187 - way over where it should be. Nicholas made the rub and got the turkey breast all settled in the crock. The seasoning was great, the smell fantastic... but me - the cook - failed us all. Good thing there was gravy and sides because they saved Thanksgiving! Ok... so did the company. it was a great day - who cares about an overcooked turkey?
