Ingredients
Scale
- 1 boneless turkey breast (2.5 to 3 pounds), thawed if frozen
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
Rub the olive oil all over the turkey breast, then coat it evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Place the turkey breast in the slow cooker, skin-side up if it has skin.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the slow cooker (not over the turkey).
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Optional: For crispy skin, transfer the cooked turkey to a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 4–5 minutes until browned.
Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
