Crockpot Turkey Breast with Gravy

Instructions:

1. Pat the turkey breast dry, then coat it with olive oil or melted butter.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub the seasoning evenly over the turkey.
3. Place the seasoned turkey breast into the crockpot.
4. Pour the chicken broth around the turkey, avoiding the top so the seasoning stays in place.
5. Sprinkle rosemary and thyme over the turkey.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
7. Remove the turkey from the crockpot and allow it to rest.
8. Pour the cooking juices into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
9. Slice the turkey and serve topped with warm gravy.

Variations

• Add sliced onions and garlic cloves to the bottom of the crockpot for deeper flavor.
• Replace chicken broth with turkey broth for a richer base.
• Add a splash of white wine to the cooking liquid for a brighter flavor profile.
• Use smoked paprika for a subtle smoky edge.

Tips

• Broil the cooked turkey for 4–5 minutes to crisp the skin before slicing.
• Let the turkey rest for at least 10 minutes so it slices cleanly.
• Strain the cooking liquid before making gravy for an ultra-smooth finish.
• If the gravy becomes too thick, loosen it with a splash of broth.
