Make your holiday meal simple or your weeknight dinner stress-free with this crockpot turkey breast recipe. Slow cooking ensures tender, juicy meat every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (4-5 pound) bone-in turkey breast
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet dry turkey gravy mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wipe the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub the entire surface with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the dry gravy mix, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the turkey breast.
  3. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  4. Place the seasoned turkey breast, skin-side up, into the slow cooker.
  5. Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 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 place it on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  7. While the turkey rests, prepare the gravy. Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in any remaining gravy mix if you prefer a thicker gravy, or use the liquid as is for a thinner sauce. Simmer until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Slice the turkey breast against the grain and serve immediately with the slow cooker turkey gravy.

Notes

  • For a whole turkey in the crockpot, you must use a very large cooker and adjust cooking times significantly, often requiring partial cooking on high then finishing on low.
  • If you want crispy skin, carefully transfer the cooked turkey breast to a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes after resting, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe works well for a Butterball turkey crock pot roast.
