Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 pound boneless turkey breast You can also use a bone-in breast.
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika Regular paprika is fine.
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 1 cup broth I used chicken
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Pat the turkey breast dry and sprinkle the spices throughout. Rub the spices into both sides of the breast. Ensure the spices completely cover both sides of the breast. Add more spices if necessary.
- Pour the broth into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the onions to the broth. Place the seasoned turkey breast over the broth. Add the butter on top.
- Cook on Low for 3-4 hours. Ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.
- Remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker. (Be careful! It will be tender and may fall apart.)
- For crispy skin, you can use either the air fryer (3-4 minutes on 400 degrees) or Broil in the oven for about 3-5 minutes.
- Allow the turkey to rest for 20 minutes prior to slicing.
Notes
Thaw the turkey breast before using.
Season the turkey however you wish. Feel free to use your favorite rubs!
If you remove the netting from the turkey before it cooks it will likely fall apart (especially the Butterball brand). The netting holds the turkey breast together during cooking. It's often removed after the roast has been cooked. I remove this netting piror to cooking. If the breast falls apart, you can secure it with toothpicks. If you don't want to to go through that, then keep it intact.
