Simple Crock Pot Turkey Breast

Recipe #279220 | 7¼ hours | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: BlondieItaliana

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).

Ingredients

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

    1. 1
      Wash & dry turkey breast. Leave skin on.
    2. 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. 3
      Coat bottom of crock pot with olive oil.
    4. 4
      Add the 4 thick slices of onion to crock.
    5. 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. 6
      Add the 2 cans of broth to bottom of crock (try not to wash off the seasoning on the turkey breast).
    7. 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.).

    So easy and tasty. This was moist and flavored just right. I made gravy out of the broth. This was so good and crock recipes are great.

    Very nice recipe. The meat was tender and very moist. Next time I will add 1-2 ribs celery & 1 carrot for a more robust broth (personal preferences). The onions on the bottom were great. I will make this again! Thanks for posting!
