Succulent and Simple: Transform Your Dinner with Crockpot Turkey Breast

Learn how to make delicious Crockpot Turkey Breast. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering ingredients should never feel like a scavenger hunt. Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious, no-fuss dish:

  • 1 bone-in turkey breast (about 5–6 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Optional: 1 lemon, sliced

If you don’t have all the spices, don’t fret. My mom was a master of substitutions, and you can be too. Try using Italian seasoning or even a bit of rosemary for a different twist.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:

  1. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up nicely.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and paprika.
  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to get it under the skin as well.
  4. Place the turkey breast in the crockpot, skin side up. Pour the chicken broth around the turkey breast, being careful not to wash off the spices.
  5. If you’re using lemon slices, tuck them around the turkey for a hint of citrus flavor.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Once cooked, let the turkey rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain all those wonderful juices.

Pro tip: Use the leftover juices in the crockpot to make a quick gravy. Just whisk in a bit of flour or cornstarch and simmer until thickened.
