This Slow Cooker Turkey Breast is the epitome of convenience and flavor. With just a few simple ingredients and hands-off cooking, you’ll get a perfectly juicy and tender turkey breast, seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices. The slow cooking process ensures the meat stays moist while the skin becomes crisp and golden.
- Ingredients:
- 1 (4-5 lb) bone-in turkey breast, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, paprika, pepper, and salt. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed across the turkey.
- Place the turkey breast, skin side up, in the slow cooker.
- Add the chicken broth to the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the lemon slices and smashed garlic cloves around the turkey for extra flavor.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the turkey breast, ensuring the skin is coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until the turkey breast reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
