Ingredients
  

  • 1 piece Turkey breast 3-4 lb boneless or bone-in
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil or butter Optional
  • 1 tsp Salt Or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Freshly ground
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp Dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp Paprika Optional
  • 1 cup Chicken or turkey broth Low sodium
  • 1 medium Onion Sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic Crushed
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Slow cooker (4-6 quart)
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Pat turkey breast dry and rub all over with oil or butter and seasonings for even flavor.
  2. Place sliced onion and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker to create a moisture base.
  3. Set turkey breast on top of the aromatics and pour broth around the sides.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW until turkey reaches 165°F and is fork-tender.
  5. Remove turkey and let rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  6. Spoon cooking juices over sliced turkey and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

• Cooking on LOW produces the juiciest turkey breast.
• Always check doneness with a thermometer rather than time alone.
• For crispy skin, broil briefly after slow cooking if using skin-on turkey.
• Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
• Use leftovers for sandwiches, salads, or wraps.
