Place everything in the slow cooker with some butter on top. 

Let it cook all day.

Can I use a bone in turkey breast?

Yes, of course!  Now the cook time will vary a bit when using a bone in breast so just make sure to adjust accordingly for the weight of your turkey breast.  The seasoning and gravy will be just the same!

What should I serve this with?

Being turkey is usually served at Thanksgiving I of course love serving this with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, all the classics.  This Loaded Cornbread Casserole also makes a great side dish with the turkey!

Can I add anything to slow cooker for more flavor?

Yes! You can add celery, onion, lemons, carrots, herbs, anything you would stuff inside a turkey for aromatics you can add to the slow cooker. 

 

Ingredients used

• Boneless turkey breast –  I love cooking boneless turkey breasts in my slow cooker but this recipe also works with a bone in breast, you will just need to adjust your cooking time. 
• Brown gravy mix – This is what helps thicken up and flavor the liquid in the slow cooker to create that rich gravy.
• Ranch seasoning – I know it sounds crazy to use ranch seasoning on a holiday but it adds so much delicious flavor. 
• Paprika – I always like to use a little paprika on my turkeys just to give it a pretty color. 
• Poultry seasoning – Kinders Poultry Seasoning has been my go to but use your favorite!
• Pepper – A little fresh cracked pepper adds great flavor. 
• Butter – This adds richness and gets that gravy shiny!

Notes

This recipe also works with a bone in breast but will require a little longer cook time.

You can leave the netting on your breast to help hold it together but it can be messy to remove after cooking and I have not had any trouble with the turkey falling apart without the netting.

You can pop the turkey under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp up the outside if desired. 

I love making this during the week and making the most amazing turkey sandwiches out of it. 

If you want you can add some carrots, onion and celery underneath the turkey for some aromatics. 

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
