Slow Cooker Turkey Breast
This slow cooker turkey breast with a garlic herb rub is so easy to make. A Crock-Pot garlic herb turkey is moist, flavorful, and delicious!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 3 - 4 lb. Fresh Boneless Turkey Breast
- 2 cups chicken broth or turkey broth.
Garlic Herb Rub
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp ground sage
- 1 tsp dried Thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Spray the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix the herbs, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, butter and olive oil in a small bowl. Stir to combine the ingredients. Rub the turkey breast with the herb mixture all over.
- Place the herb-rubbed turkey breast into the prepared crockpot. Pour the chicken or turkey broth into the crockpot around the turkey breast, not over.
- Cover with lid and turn the crockpot to low and cook for 4 - 6 hours, depending on the size of the turkey. The internal temperature must be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the turkey with a meat thermometer after it has cooked for about 3 hours. This should help you gauge how much longer it needs to cook. My turkey was completely cooked after a total of 4 hours.
- Allow the turkey to rest for 5 - 10 minutes before you carve it. Spoon the juices over the turkey. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- To make this recipe, I used a fresh boneless turkey breast that weighed 3.5 lbs. If you are using a frozen turkey breast, make sure to thaw it at least 24 - 48 hours in the refrigerator.
- The internal temperature must be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the turkey with a meat thermometer after it has cooked for about. This should help you gauge how much longer it needs to cook.
