There is nothing better than having a stress free way to cook turkey for a holiday dinner or just a cozy weekend meal. Using your slow cooker means you do not have to worry about the oven temperature or dry meat, as the gentle heat keeps everything tender and moist.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy the cleanup is afterward. You get that classic roasted flavor without all the fuss, and it leaves your oven free for side dishes like stuffing or casseroles.

Ingredients

  • 1 bone in turkey breast, about 4 to 6 pounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken or turkey broth

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels to make sure the seasonings stick well.

  2. 2

    Mix the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create a seasoning rub.

  3. 3

    Rub the seasoning mixture all over the outside of the turkey breast.

  4. 4

    Pour the broth into the bottom of your slow cooker.

  5. 5

    Place the turkey breast into the slow cooker on top of the broth.

  6. 6

    Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. 7

    Carefully remove the turkey from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving to keep the juices inside.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover turkey in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also shred the meat and use it for sandwiches, soups, or salads throughout the week. If you want crispy skin, pop the cooked turkey breast under your oven broiler for about 5 minutes before serving.
