Description
A simple and flavorful slow cooker recipe for turkey breast served with rich gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 pounds boneless turkey breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup turkey gravy (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening gravy)
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening gravy)
Instructions
- Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned turkey breast in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth around the turkey.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the turkey is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove the turkey from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the turkey breast overnight in the seasoning mixture.
