This Crockpot turkey breast makes an incredible Thanksgiving centerpiece, especially for a smaller crowd! Made with a simple seasoning rub, this recipe delivers tender, juicy, and flavorful turkey with extra crispy skin!
2cupschicken broth or water(vegetable broth or turkey stock may be substituted)
1countyellow onion(quartered)
3countcelery stalks(halved)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic and onion powder, paprika, italian seasoning, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Remove the turkey from the packaging. Check the cavity for the giblet bag/neck.
Brush the turkey with the melted butter. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the bird.
To a 6 quart slow cooker, add the chicken broth or water. Then, place the turkey breast in the slow cooker and surround with the quartered onion and celery.
Cook on low for 5-7 hours or until the internal temp reads 165°F degrees with an internal meat thermometer.
Transfer the turkey to an oven-safe dish and place under the broiler for a few minutes - just long enough for the skin to crisp on top. Keep an eye on it as it will brown quickly!
Allow the turkey to rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving.
