Make a tender, moist turkey breast with minimal effort using your slow cooker. This recipe is perfect for small holiday gatherings or an easy Sunday dinner and includes instructions for a simple gravy from the drippings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bone-in turkey breast (5–7 lbs)
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Instructions

  1. Rinse the turkey breast and pat the skin dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper evenly over the entire surface of the turkey breast.
  3. Place the seasoned turkey breast, skin-side up, in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  4. Pour the chicken broth around the base of the turkey, avoiding pouring it directly over the skin.
  5. Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Carefully remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
  7. To make the gravy, pour the drippings from the slow cooker into a saucepan, measuring out about 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Discard any excess fat floating on top.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
  9. Bring the reserved drippings to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry slowly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  10. Slice the turkey breast and serve immediately with the homemade gravy.

Notes

  • For the juiciest results, do not overcook the turkey; check the internal temperature starting at the 6-hour mark.
  • If you prefer a crispier skin, you can briefly place the turkey under the broiler for 3-5 minutes after it has rested, but this is optional for a slow cooker recipe.
  • This recipe works well as an easy Thanksgiving main dish when you do not want to cook a whole bird.
