Juicy Slow Cooker Boneless Turkey Breast
Take a look at this mouthwatering beauty!
Ingredients
- 1 boneless turkey breast (about 3-4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by seasoning your turkey breast. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the turkey breast to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned turkey breast and sear it on both sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step adds depth to the flavor and creates a nice crust.
- Transfer the seared turkey breast to your slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker, ensuring it surrounds the turkey but doesn’t pour directly on top (to keep that lovely crust).
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The low and slow method gives the best results, meltingly tender turkey.
- Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making it juicier when you slice it.
- After resting, slice the turkey breast against the grain, and serve it up with your favorite sides. Drizzle some of the cooking juice over the slices for an added burst of flavor. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy!
And there you have it! A dish that not only fills the tummy but warms the heart. Perfect for family gatherings or a cozy dinner just for yourself. Enjoy your culinary creation!
