Welcome to a world where simplicity meets flavor! This Herb-Infused Slow Cooker Turkey Breast is your ticket to a stress-free, yet impressive meal. With fresh herbs and a low, slow cook, this dish is perfect for any occasion.
The star of the show is the turkey breast, providing a lean and protein-rich base. A touch of olive oil helps the herb paste stick and adds a subtle richness. Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage infuse the meat with earthy, aromatic flavors, while garlic powder and onion powder enhance the savory notes. A bit of salt and black pepper rounds everything out. The chicken broth keeps the meat moist and adds depth, while lemon slices provide a bright, zesty finish.
This turkey pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or a light, tangy cranberry sauce. For a veggie side, try roasted Brussels sprouts or a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the meat.
Start by rinsing the turkey breast under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. This ensures that the herb paste sticks well. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make a fragrant paste. Use your hands to rub this paste all over the turkey, making sure to cover every nook and cranny.
Place the turkey breast in your slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth around the turkey, not over it, to keep those delicious herbs in place. Lay the lemon slices on top of the turkey. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours. You'll know it's done when a meat thermometer reads 165°F.
Once cooked, carefully remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping your slices moist. Slice and serve!
