Simple Crock Pot Turkey Breast

BlondieItaliana's Note:

This is a simple recipe for a Turkey Breast on the bone. It comes out very moist. The next day I take the remaining turkey meat & make open faced turkey sandwiches (1 can Campbell's Turkey Gravy mixed with 1 can of Campbell's Mushroom Gravy in large skillet - heat on medium then add turkey meat, reduce heat & simmer on low until ready to serve on sliced bread).

• Total Time: 7 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 7 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 5 ½ lbs turkey breast (I use bone in but you can also use boneless)
• 1 large onion (sliced into 4 thick slices)
• 2 (14 ½ ounce) cans chicken broth (I usually use College Inn)
• salt
• pepper
• garlic powder
• 2 raw garlic cloves
• extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Wash & dry turkey breast. Leave skin on.
2. Rub entire breast with olive oil. Season entire breast with salt, pepper, & garlic powder (including under the skin). Top with 2 cloves of raw garlic.
3. Coat bottom of crock pot with olive oil.
4. Add the 4 thick slices of onion to crock.
5. Place turkey breast on top of the onion (onion makes a little shelf for breast so it does not stick to bottom of crock).
6. Add the 2 cans of broth to bottom of crock (try not to wash off the seasoning on the turkey breast).
7. Cover with lid & cook on high x 1 hr then low for 6-8 hrs (or just cook on low for 8-10 hrs.).

The skin is not crispy when this is done. I either throw the skin out or put the turkey in a high oven for 20 minutes or so to crisp up the skin.

This was amazing!!! A big hit with the family and very easy. I will do my turkey breast in the crock pot from now on... Thanks!!!

This is a fantastic recipe for turkey breast. I was so glad to find it as most of the crockpot turkey recipes have some kind of condensed soup in them. I used my probe thermometer to tell when the turkey was 170 degrees and it was perfect, well seasoned and moist. Thanks for posting this!
