There is nothing quite like a moist, delicious turkey, but roasting a whole bird can feel like a big project. That is why I love using my slow cooker. It keeps the meat succulent and tender, and the cleanup is almost nonexistent.

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights or smaller holiday gatherings. Just add your seasonings and let the slow cooker do the work for you. My best tip is to use a meat thermometer so you know exactly when the turkey reaches the perfect temperature.

🧺 Ingredients

1 bone in turkey breast, about 4 to 6 pounds
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
2
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3
Rub the butter mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to get under the skin if possible.
4
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of your slow cooker.
5
Place the turkey breast into the slow cooker on top of the broth.
6
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
7
Carefully remove the turkey to a platter, let it rest for 15 minutes, then slice and serve.

💡 Tips

Let the turkey rest on a carving board before slicing to keep all the juices inside. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Use the remaining juices from the slow cooker to make a quick gravy.
