Make your holiday meal simple or your weeknight dinner delicious with this easy Crockpot Turkey Breast recipe. You get tender, juicy meat every time using your slow cooker, minimizing effort and maximizing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (4-6 pound) bone-in turkey breast
  • 1 packet dry turkey gravy mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon dried poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wipe the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the dry gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and water until smooth. This creates your simple gravy base.
  3. Rub the turkey breast all over with the poultry seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the seasoned turkey breast skin-side up in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  5. Pour the soup and gravy mixture evenly over the turkey breast.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the meat.
  7. Carefully remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. While the turkey rests, pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  9. Slice the turkey breast against the grain and serve immediately with the homemade slow cooker gravy.

Notes

  • For extra juicy turkey, you can place a few celery stalks or onion slices under the turkey breast in the slow cooker.
  • If you want crispy skin, carefully transfer the turkey breast to a baking sheet after cooking and broil it in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe works well for a small gathering or as a stress-free Thanksgiving turkey alternative.
