Equipment

Ingredients
- 4-6 lb. turkey breast thawed, boneless or bone-in
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 c. chicken or vegetable stock
- a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and bay leaves for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, paprika, Italian seasoning, and black pepper to make a rub. Set aside.
- Pat the turkey fully dry with paper towels. Slather the turkey breast with the seasoned olive oil rub, using most of the rub for the top and the sides.
- Pour the chicken/vegetable stock into the bottom of the crockpot and add in the fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and bay leaves. Place the turkey breast in the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of. 165F.
- Remove the turkey breast from the crockpot and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the turkey breast is thoroughly patted dry with paper towels before applying the seasoning rub. This helps the rub adhere better.
- For the juiciest and most tender turkey breast, cook it on the low setting of the crockpot for 5-6 hours. Cooking on low heat allows the turkey to slowly tenderize without drying out. Do not cook on high.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165F before removing it from the crockpot.
