This tender and flavorful crockpot turkey breast is perfect for a stress-free, juicy main dish. Simple ingredients and slow cooking ensure maximum flavor and moisture.
Ingredients
Meat
- 1 lb boneless turkey breast (3-4 lb or bone-in (see note))
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Vegetables
- 1 piece onion (sliced)
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
Liquids
- 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Butter
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
- Pat the turkey dry. Mix herb butter with garlic, rosemary, and thyme, then loosen skin and rub under and over it. If not using herb butter, season the turkey with spices and olive oil.
- Place sliced onion and smashed garlic in the slow cooker, pour in chicken broth, then place turkey on top. Scatter butter pieces over the turkey.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until internal temperature reaches 150-155°F. Rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Resting the turkey is essential for juicy results.
