Frequently Asked Questions

Question?

Can I use frozen asparagus instead of fresh?

Answer.

Yes, you can use frozen asparagus, but be sure to thaw it first and pat it dry with paper towels before using it in the recipe.

Question?

Can I substitute the cream of celery soup with another type of soup?

Answer.

While you can experiment with other types of soup, the cream of celery soup provides a unique flavor that pairs perfectly with the turkey breast and asparagus. If you do choose to substitute, keep in mind that the flavor may vary.

Question?

Can I cook this recipe on the stovetop instead of in the Crockpot?
