Description

This Best Crockpot Turkey Breast recipe offers a tender, juicy, and flavorful turkey breast cooked slowly to perfection in a crockpot. With a blend of aromatic herbs and spices, this easy-to-make dish is perfect for holiday meals or any special occasion, requiring minimal hands-on time while delivering maximum taste and moisture.

Ingredients

Scale

Turkey and Seasoning

  • 3 to 4 pound boneless turkey breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the seasoning sticks well.
  2. Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika. Mix evenly to create your seasoning blend.
  3. Season the Turkey: Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the seasoning mixture, making sure all sides are covered well for maximum flavor.
  4. Place in Crockpot: Put the seasoned turkey breast into the crockpot. Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice around the turkey to add moisture during cooking.
  5. Cook the Turkey: Cover and cook on low heat for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The turkey is done when its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest the Turkey: Remove the turkey breast from the crockpot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows juices to redistribute for tender slices.
  7. Optional Crisping: For a crispy exterior, transfer the turkey to a baking sheet and broil it in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Add root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or onions to the crockpot to create a one-pot meal.
  • Use the flavorful cooking juices left in the crockpot to make a simple, delicious gravy.
  • Avoid overcooking the turkey breast to keep it moist and tender.
