Delicious slow cooker turkey breast recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Turkey breast (boneless, skinless): 3-4 pounds
  • Chicken broth: 2 cups
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Dried rosemary: 1 teaspoon
  • Dried thyme: 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and pepper: To taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb mixture all over the turkey breast.
  3. Step 3: Pour chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place the turkey breast in the slow cooker.
  4. Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Step 5: Once cooked, remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • Shred leftover turkey and mix with a bit of the slow cooker broth for flavorful turkey salad sandwiches.
  • For moist reheated turkey, slice it and warm gently in a covered dish with a splash of chicken broth.
  • Serve sliced turkey with cranberry sauce and your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete and comforting meal.
  • To prevent sticking, consider lining your slow cooker with a parchment paper sling before adding the turkey breast.
