Ingredients
- 4-6 pound bone-in or boneless turkey breast
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
- 2 large onions halved
Method
- Pat the turkey breast dry. Carefully loosen the skin from the meat.
- Combine the softened butter, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the seasoned butter underneath the turkey skin and over the outside of the turkey.
- Place the halved onions in the bottom of the crock pot. Place the turkey breast on top.
- Pour the broth around the turkey, being careful not to pour it directly over the skin.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, or until the thickest part reaches 165°F.
- For crispy skin, transfer the turkey to a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes.
- Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with the crock pot juices or homemade turkey gravy.
For the Gravy
- Strain 2 cups of the turkey juices from the crock pot.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in ¼ cup flour and cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the turkey juices.
- Simmer for 3–5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the gravy while the turkey rests so everything is hot and ready to serve at the same time!
