Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Crock Pot Turkey Breast:

• Step 1: Prep the turkey breast by patting it dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice crust.
• Step 2: Rub the turkey breast all over with olive oil or melted butter for added moisture and flavor.
• Step 3: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture generously over the turkey breast.
• Step 4: Place the sliced onion and minced garlic into the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavorful base.
• Step 5: Carefully set the turkey breast on top of the onion and garlic mixture.
• Step 6: Pour the chicken broth and white wine (if using) around the turkey in the crock pot.
• Step 7: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The meat should be tender and easily shredable.
• Step 8: If you prefer crispy skin, transfer the cooked turkey breast to a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, watching closely until golden brown and crispy.
• Step 9: Allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the cooked onions and any drippings from the crock pot for optimal flavor.
