Ingredients
-
1 boneless turkey breast (about 3-4 lbs)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for added richness)
-
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
-
Pat the boneless turkey breast dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and ensures a crispy outer layer.
-
Rub the olive oil evenly over the entire turkey breast.
-
-
Season the Turkey:
-
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
-
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to coat it evenly.
-
-
Cook the Turkey:
-
Place the seasoned turkey breast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
Pour the chicken broth around the turkey (not directly on top to keep the seasoning intact).
-
If using, place the butter on top of the turkey breast for extra flavor and moisture.
-
-
Slow Cook:
-
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). A meat thermometer is your best friend for this!
-
-
Finish and Serve:
-
Once the turkey is done, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides!
-
Notes
-
If you prefer a crispier skin, you can broil the turkey breast in the oven for 5–10 minutes after cooking in the slow cooker to give it a golden finish.
-
You can also add vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery to the slow cooker for added flavor and to create a side dish.
-
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3–4 days and make great additions to sandwiches or salads.
