Turkey Breast Ingredients For the Slow Cooker

Making the turkey in the crockpot is the best! That way, you have the oven to make everything else. Not only that, but the turkey’s flavor and tenderness are unbeatable! Scroll to the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Turkey

• Boneless Turkey Breast Roast Thawed: It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a turkey! Just make sure the breast will fit in your crockpot and has had 24 hours to thaw in the fridge.
• Onion: Adds a hint of sweetness and savory flavor that perfectly complements the turkey breast.
• Garlic Cloves: Gives the turkey that incredible punch of savory flavor.
• Whole Carrots: Provide a bright sweetness while softening, releasing their juices, and infusing into the breast.
• Chicken Broth: Adds moisture and flavor into the turkey while it cooks.
• Fresh Herbs: Fresh Rosemary and Sage add a bright, earthy note to the turkey breast while it cooks.

Butter Herb Rub

• Softened Butter: The base for the rub that soaks into the slow cooker turkey while it cooks. You can use salted or unsalted butter, whatever your preference.
• Garlic Powder: Gives extra garlic flavor in the butter rub.
• Dried Onion Flakes: Adds a sweet, slightly tender flavor and texture.
• Salt & Black Pepper: Enhances the flavors of everything in this recipe.
• Paprika: Complements the vegetables and addds a hint of peppery heat.
• Dried Herbs: Combine Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme, is the ultimate combination in dried herbs for classic flavor.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast Recipe

It only took me a short time to prep everything and throw it into the slow cooker. In just a few hours, I had the most delicious, moist, and tender turkey I have ever had! Trust me, you will want to make this all year long!

1. Prep: Prepare the turkey by thawing it ahead of time. I thawed mine in the fridge 2 days in advance! Line your slow cooker with a liner or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place the onion, garlic, carrots, chicken broth, and herbs sprigs in the slow cooker’s bottom.
2. Stir: Combine the softened butter, garlic powder, dried onion flakes, salt, paprika, sage, rosemary, thyme, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to incorporate the herbs into the butter.
3. Coat: Spread the butter mixture generously all over the thawed turkey.
4. Cook: Place the turkey into the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit with a meat thermometer. Carefully remove your turkey from the slow cooker and then place it on a platter. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing, and enjoy!
