Instructions: Place the bay leaves and peppercorns in an electric slow cooker. Add water to approximately 1-inch depth. Place a collapsible vegetable steamer basket in the slow cooker.

Coat a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and warm it over medium-high heat. Saute the bread, bacon, onions, celery and garlic until the onions are lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in the white pepper and the sage. Transfer the bread stuffing to the steamer basket in the slow cooker.

Coat the same skillet with nonstick spray; rewarm over medium-high heat. Quickly brown the turkey breast on both sides; then transfer it to the slow cooker, placing in atop the stuffing.

Melt 1/4 cup jelly and brush it on the turkey breast. Cover and cook on LOW until the breast is tender and cooked through, 190 degrees on a meat thermometer, 8 to 10 hours.

Melt the remaining jelly and brush it on the breast.
