Slow Cooker Turkey Breast: The Perfect Set-It-and-Forget-It Meal

Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy, golden exterior.
Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then, season the turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Be generous with the seasoning, as it will infuse the turkey with great flavor.
Set Up the Slow Cooker:

Place the turkey breast in the slow cooker. If you’re using the optional butter, cut it into small pieces and place it on top of the turkey for added flavor and moisture.
Pour the chicken broth (and white wine, if using) around the turkey. The liquid helps keep the turkey moist as it cooks, but it won’t make the skin soggy.
Cook the Turkey:

Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your turkey breast and the type of slow cooker, so check the internal temperature after 3 hours if you’re unsure.
The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) at the thickest part. If you want a crispy skin, you can transfer the turkey breast to a baking sheet and broil it in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the skin turns golden and crispy.
Rest and Slice:

Once the turkey breast is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making the turkey extra tender and juicy.
Serve and Enjoy:

Slice the turkey breast and serve it with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or stuffing. Spoon some of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker over the turkey to enhance the flavor.
