Description

This Crock Pot Turkey Breast is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Perfect for a smaller Thanksgiving gathering or a cozy weeknight dinner, the slow cooker does all the work while keeping the turkey moist and delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bone-in turkey breast (5–7 lbs)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
  • 1 onion (quartered)
  • 2 celery stalks (cut into large pieces)
  • 2 carrots (cut into large pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with olive oil or melted butter.
  2. Season: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over the turkey breast.
  3. Layer the vegetables: Place the onion, celery, and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a base. Pour the chicken or turkey broth over the vegetables.
  4. Add the turkey: Place the turkey breast on top of the vegetables, skin side up.
  5. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
  6. Optional broil: For crispy skin, transfer the turkey to a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Rest and serve: Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the cooked vegetables and your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • If using a boneless turkey breast, adjust the cooking time to 5–6 hours on low.
  • Use the drippings to make a flavorful gravy. Simply strain the liquid, whisk it with a roux of butter and flour, and simmer until thickened.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
