Description
Tender and flavorful crockpot turkey breast cooked with aromatic vegetables and a seasoned butter rub.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
1 cup chicken broth
3 stalks celery, halved
3 carrots, quartered
1 large yellow onion, sliced into ½-inch wedges
1 boneless turkey breast with skin, about 2 to 2 ½ pounds
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Spread this mixture evenly over the turkey breast.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a slow cooker, then add the celery, carrots, and onion.
Place the turkey breast on top of the vegetables with the skin side facing up.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F.
If you like, transfer the turkey breast to a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the skin is nicely browned.
Let the turkey rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a crispier skin, broil the turkey breast after slow cooking.
Letting the turkey rest before slicing helps retain its juices.
