Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4-5 pounds turkey breast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Equipment

  • Crock pot
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by rinsing the turkey breast under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the olive oil all over the turkey breast, then sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme evenly.
  3. Put the seasoned turkey breast into the crock pot, breast side up.
  4. Pour the chicken broth around the turkey, avoiding pouring it directly on top.
  5. Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low for 6-8 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. It should reach at least 165°F.
  7. Once cooked, remove the turkey from the crock pot and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Carefully slice the turkey breast against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs or citrus slices to the crock pot during cooking.
