Calories: 1087kcal
Ingredients
- 2 to 4 pound boneless turkey breast skin on (my turkey was 2.5 pounds)
- 2 yellow or white onions
- ½ cup softened butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ Tablespoon minced onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Spray the inside of the Crock Pot with nonstick cooking spray.
- Slice the onions in half and place them face down on the bottom of the slow cooker. They will help hold the turkey up out of the liquid.
- Add a few sprigs of thyme on the bottom.
- Add the butter, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and rosemary to a small or medium-sized bowl and mix well.
- Place the turkey in the slow cooker and dry off with some paper towels to help the butter stick.
- Spread the butter over the top of the turkey.
- Pour the chicken broth into the side of the Crock Pot, being careful not to pour it on the turkey.
- Place the lid on top and cook for 7 hours on the low setting.
- Once the turkey is done cooking, check the temperature with a meat thermometer. The temp should be at least 165 degrees in the thickest part of the turkey breast.
- Place the turkey under the oven broiler for 5 to 10 minutes (in the crock only) until the top is crispy. (Watch it close; it can burn fast, and make sure you remove the Crock Pot lid).
