Slow Cooker Turkey Breast
SLOW COOKER TURKEY BREAST
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
1 entire turkey breast (both sides of breast) mine was 5 pounds
1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. dried rubbed sage
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. paprika
SLOW COOKER SIZE:
6-quart or larger
INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove the turkey from packaging and make sure to remove any extra bits that are stuffed in the cavity. Pat the turkey dry with paper towel.
Add the turkey breast to the slow cooker. Pour over the melted butter, then sprinkle over the seasonings.
Cover and cook on low for 7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
Let the turkey rest for about 10 minutes before carving. I started carving with a knife first, then switched to my electric knife and that helped make thinner slices. Serve and enjoy!
Note- I made gravy with the drippings from this recipe, I used a turkey gravy packet and 1 cup of the drippings. You could make homemade gravy too.

How to Cook a Whole Turkey in the Slow Cooker~Easy Cooking
In this easy cooking video, I cook a whole turkey in my crock pot, or slow cooker. I seasoned the turkey, inside and out, with Kinder's Mild BBQ Rub, and then cooked it on low for 8 hours, until the internal temperature of the breast reached 165 degrees F. I didn't add any liquid to the crockpot.
Slow Cooker Whole Turkey | I Heart Recipes
Hi friends! If you’re planning your holiday menu, check out my recipe for Slow Cooker Whole Turkey.
My preferred way of cooking a whole turkey is in my slow cooker. No basting, no brining! It’s a foolproof way to get the juiciest, most tender turkey. Once I put the turkey in the slow cooker, I forget about it until it’s time to eat! Super easy and always delicious.
Always start off by rinsing and patting dry the turkey. Remember to empty the cavity, too, y’all! Stuff the empty turkey cavity with onions, garlic, celery, fresh herbs, oranges and apples. Yes, oranges and apples. Trust me! Next drizzle the outside of the turkey with olive oil and sprinkle on the seasoning. I like to line my slow cooker with a liner. It makes cleanup so easy. Any remaining vegetables and fruit can be placed in the slow cooker. Place the turkey right on top and cover. Cook the turkey on low for 8-½ hours. No need to baste or stir anything! Once you’ve tried this, it will be your go-to recipe. Tender, juicy, full of flavor and so simple!

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

As always, we’ve got everything you need for this recipe, and more, in-store! We’ll see you at Websters, where we’ve been wowing since 87!
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.
