A flavorful and juicy turkey breast recipe perfect for any occasion, made effortlessly in a slow cooker.
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Ensure the turkey is completely dry to help the seasoning adhere better.
Rub the turkey breast with olive oil using a basting brush.
Using a brush ensures an even coating of oil, which helps in browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, thyme, and parsley.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey breast, including under the skin if possible.
Applying the seasoning under the skin enhances the flavor of the meat.
Place the turkey breast in the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth around it.
Adding broth keeps the turkey moist and infuses it with flavor during cooking.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
Cooking on high initially helps to seal in the juices.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 5 hours, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures the turkey is cooked to a safe temperature.
Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the turkey more tender.
