Cooking Turkey Breast In A Slow Cooker
This is a great way to make extra turkey to serve at a large Thanksgiving feast. Or, if like me, you have a small holiday meal this is the perfect size for 3-4 people.
We are keeping it super simple with poultry seasoning and fresh herbs. Just set it and forget it while you prepare all the other holiday dishes on your menu.
I have cooked turkey breast several ways – Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Air Fryer Turkey Breast and in the slow cooker. I have to say, the Slow Cooker Turkey Breast is my favorite. It is so easy and ends up being the juiciest. The slow cooker gets all steamy while cooking and keeps all those juices right in the turkey breast. Perfect.
