Easy Slow Cooker Turkey Breast
This simple turkey breast recipe ensures your meat stays incredibly juicy and flavorful with almost no effort at all.
dailyrecipesbook.comThere 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

Instructions

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

๐ก 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.
