This recipe simplifies the cooking process while yielding a tender turkey breast bathed in a rich, savory gravy, perfect for drenching your mashed potatoes or slathering onto a slice of fresh bread.
Ingredients
Scale:
Turkey breast (boneless, skinless) - 3-4 pounds
Chicken broth - 2 cups
Onion (chopped) - 1 medium
Garlic (minced) - 4 cloves
Thyme (dried) - 1 teaspoon
Rosemary (dried) - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
Butter (unsalted) - 4 tablespoons
Flour - 1/4 cup
Instructions
Prepare the slow cooker by lightly greasing it with non-stick spray or a little olive oil.
Place the chopped onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Season the turkey breast with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary, ensuring an even coating.
Place the seasoned turkey breast on top of the onion and garlic in the slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth over the turkey breast, ensuring it is well submerged.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the turkey is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the turkey breast and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
For the gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour with a little water to create a slurry, then whisk this into the simmering broth until thickened.
Serve the sliced turkey breast with the homemade gravy drizzled on top.
