Description

This Crockpot Turkey Breast Recipe offers a simple and flavorful way to prepare tender, juicy turkey. Using a blend of savory spices, the turkey is slow-cooked in a crockpot for 8 hours, then finished under the broiler to achieve a golden, crispy skin. Perfect for an easy, hands-off meal that delivers delicious results.

Ingredients

Turkey and Spice Rub

  • 1 whole Honeysuckle White or Shady Brook Farms Turkey Breast (Bone In)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine garlic salt, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Mix well to create an even spice blend.
  2. Season the Turkey: Place the whole bone-in turkey breast in the crockpot. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey breast, ensuring it is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Cook in Crockpot: Cover and cook the turkey breast on low heat for 8 hours. This slow cooking method ensures a tender and juicy turkey.
  4. Preheat Broiler: When the slow cooking time is complete, preheat your oven broiler to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, preparing to crisp the turkey skin.
  5. Broil to Finish: Carefully remove the cooked turkey breast from the crockpot and transfer it to a roasting pan or an oven-safe baking dish. Place it under the preheated broiler for about 10 minutes, or until the skin turns golden brown and crispy.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. After resting, slice or shred the turkey as desired and serve.

Notes

  • Use a bone-in turkey breast for best flavor and moisture retention during slow cooking.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the turkey breast; ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
  • Allowing the turkey to rest after broiling helps redistribute juices for a more tender result.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper amount to control spiciness to your taste.
  • Make sure the crockpot lid fits well to prevent moisture loss during cooking.
