Easy Slow Cooker Herbed Butter Turkey Breast Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 (5-7 lb) bone-in turkey breast with a 180° Pop Up® Disposable Cooking Thermometer, thawed and patted dry with paper towels
  • ¼ C butter, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp sage
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 C chicken broth
  • ½ C onion, sliced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 3 ribs celery, rinsed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, thyme, basil, sage, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a separate small bowl, stir together softened butter and half of herb mixture.
  3. Spread herb butter underneath the skin of turkey breast. (You can use a spoon to get to the edges and spread it around with your hand on the top of the skin.) Sprinkle remaining herb mixture over the top.
  4. Pour chicken broth into a 6 quart slow cooker. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic cloves. Place turkey breast on top.
  5. Cook for 6-8 hours on low or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F. The red portion of the Pop Up® sensor will pop up when this temperature is reached. You can baste the turkey a few times during the cooking time, but it is not necessary.
  6. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing into pieces and serving.
