Make a tender, flavorful turkey breast with minimal effort in your slow cooker. This hands-off turkey dinner recipe is perfect for easy weeknight meals or stress-free holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (4-6 pound) bone-in or boneless turkey breast
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth or apple cider
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface of the turkey breast.
  3. Pour the chicken broth or apple cider into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  4. Place the seasoned turkey breast on top of the liquid in the slow cooker. If using, scatter the cranberries around the base of the turkey.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
  6. Carefully remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing.
  7. If you desire gravy, skim any excess fat from the liquid remaining in the slow cooker and use it as a base for your gravy.

Notes

  • For bone-in turkey breast, cooking time may lean toward the longer end of the range.
  • If you are cooking a boneless turkey breast, check for doneness about 30 minutes earlier than the suggested time.
  • Placing vegetables like chopped onions or carrots under the turkey can add extra flavor to the drippings for gravy.
