Instructions
- Prepare the Turkey: Rub the turkey breast all over with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to ensure even seasoning and flavor infusion.
- Arrange Vegetables: Place the sliced onion, carrots, and celery at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a flavorful bed for the turkey.
- Assemble in Slow Cooker: Set the seasoned turkey breast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic and pour the low-sodium chicken broth around the turkey.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches a safe 165°F, ensuring tender and thoroughly cooked meat.
- Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the turkey from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice and serve with the cooked vegetables and pan juices for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor and a appealing crust, sear the turkey breast in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
- Feel free to add potatoes or fresh herbs like sage for added depth of flavor.
