Juicy Slow Cooker Turkey Breast
The easiest and only way to cook JUICY turkey breast without brining! Super easy, and served with a killer gravy. Note: I am using a slow cooker called a Breville Slow Fast Cooker which is a slow cooker AND pressure cooker in one. This recipe is cooked using the slow cooker function. It is not suited to a pressure cooker.

--------------------------------FULL RECIPE BELOW--------------------------------------------------
Ingredients
▢1/4 cup softened butter
▢1/4 cup fig jam
▢1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
▢1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
▢1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
▢1 8 pound bone-in turkey breast
▢4-5 whole carrots
▢4-5 whole celery stalks
▢1 onion, quartered
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the butter, jam, garlic powder, salt and pepper until well blended.
Pat the surface of the turkey dry with a paper towel and place the turkey breast on a flat work surface.
Rub the butter under the skin by carefully separating the skin from the meat of the breast and spreading the butter over the meat. Spread the remaining butter over the skin. (It’s ok if the butter isn’t evenly spread, it will melt during the cooking process.)
Arrange the carrots, celery and onion on the bottom of the slow cooker to form a roasting rack.
Place the turkey breast, bone side down, on top of the vegetables so it sits upright.
Cover and cook the turkey on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours until an instant read thermometer reaches 160˚F.
Preheat the broiler.
Remove the turkey from the slow cooker and arrange on a baking sheet.
Transfer the vegetables to the baking sheet and transfer to the oven with the broiler set to high.
Brown the turkey breast until golden and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Rest the turkey breast for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Active Time: 20 minutes
Inactive Time: 4 – 6 hours
Yields: 8 – 12 servings
Ingredients:
For the turkey breast:
1 white onion, cut into quarters (Produce)
4 garlic cloves (Produce)
4 – 6 pound Bone-in, skin-on turkey breast, thawed (Meat)
½ cup olive oil (Aisle 5)
1 TBSP kosher salt (Aisle 5)
2 tsp. black pepper (Aisle 5)
1 ½ tsp. onion powder (Aisle 5)
1 ½ tsp. garlic powder (Aisle 5)
2 tsp. poultry seasoning (Aisle 5)
½ cup turkey or chicken stock (or water) (Aisle 4)
For the pan gravy:
2 – 3 TBSP flour (Aisle 5)
¼ - ½ cup turkey or chicken stock (Aisle 4)
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste (Aisle 5)
Directions:
Place the onion and garlic cloves on the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the turkey breast on top and pat dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil and brush into skin (or rub in with clean hands). Sprinkle on salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning and rub into the skin. Pour the stock into the slow cooker. Cover and cook the turkey breast on low for 4 – 6 hours, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 145 degrees. Remove turkey breast from slow cooker and place in a rimmed pan. Broil in oven for 8 – 10 minutes, or until skin is crispy, rotating the turkey halfway through to be sure it doesn’t burn. While the turkey broils, make the pan gravy. Strain the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and discard the onion and garlic. Place the liquid in a large pan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 – 3 TBSP of flour (more for a thicker gravy) until smooth. Add another splash of stock for more gravy. Stir in salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the gravy alongside slices of perfectly cooked turkey breast!
*To thaw the turkey breast: place in a baking dish in the fridge for 36 – 48 hours before cooking
*To cut the turkey breast: using a very sharp knife, cut directly down along the breastbone of the broiled turkey to release the breast. Cut the breast into servable slices.
*Butter can also be used on the skin instead of olive oil, if desired.
