Servings: 4 8 oz servings
Calories: 390kcal
Ingredients
- 2 celery stalks halved
- 2 carrots halved
- 3 lb boneless turkey breast
- 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup water or vegetable stock
Optional Gravy:
- 1 cup broth from the bottom of the crockpot base
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- pinch pepper
Instructions
- Layer carrots and celery in the base of your crockpot. Place the turkey breast on top of the vegetables.
- Mix together olive oil and spices. Brush the outside of the turkey breast with oil/spice mixture.
- Add in 1 cup of stock or water to the bottom of the crockpot, cover and set to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Low is recommended. Cooking your turkey on high can result in a dry turkey breast.
- You can transfer the turkey to a glass baking dish and broil to make the skin crispy for 4-5 minutes, or serve directly from the crockpot!
- Optional Gravy: Take 1 cup of broth from the base of the crockpot and add it to a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil, whisking in flour and spices. Reduce heat and simmer. It should thicken almost immediately.

Notes
The crockpot is a great tool to slow cook food and create some flavorful, juicy, and tender meat.
The liquid can be water, chicken, beef, or vegetable stock but I love using chicken stock to go with the flavor of the turkey.
You can add more spices like rosemary, sage, or marjoram to really enhance the flavor of the turkey.
If you don't have a crockpot, this can be done the same exact way in a dutch oven or deep pot with a lid cooked in the oven.
