Make a tender and moist turkey breast in your slow cooker. This easy crockpot turkey recipe requires minimal effort and delivers a flavorful, stress-free main dish perfect for weeknights or holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (4-5 lb) bone-in turkey breast, skin on
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
  • 1 cup reserved cooking liquid (for gravy)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the turkey breast and pat the skin dry with paper towels.
  2. Place the turkey breast skin-side up in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the turkey skin.
  4. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the slow cooker around the turkey, not over the skin.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached in the thickest part of the meat.
  6. Carefully remove the turkey from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  7. To make the gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, discarding any solids. You should have about 1.5 cups of liquid.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
  9. Bring the reserved cooking liquid in the saucepan to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in the slurry slowly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  10. Slice the rested turkey breast and serve immediately with the homemade gravy.

Notes

  • For slightly crispier skin, carefully transfer the turkey breast to a baking sheet after cooking and broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • If you are using a very large slow cooker, you may need to use a smaller turkey breast or cut the breast in half to ensure even cooking.
  • This recipe works well with a Butterball turkey breast product.
