This simple slow cooker turkey breast recipe transforms a single bone-in turkey breast and a packet of dry onion soup mix into a succulent, flavorful dish with minimal effort. Just season the turkey, set it in your slow cooker, and let it cook slowly to perfection. Ideal for busy cooks seeking delicious, nutritious meals without fuss, this recipe ensures a moist, tender turkey every time, making it a fantastic choice for both everyday meals and special occasions.
Preparation: Begin by rinsing the turkey breast and patting it dry. Trim any excess skin but leave enough to cover the breast.
Season: Generously rub the onion soup mix all over the turkey, both on the outside and under the skin, to ensure every bite is infused with flavor.
Cook: Place the turkey in the slow cooker. Cook on high for one hour, then switch to low and continue cooking for an additional seven hours. The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve: Let the turkey rest before slicing to keep the juices inside. Serve hot and enjoy the flavors of a dish that tastes like it took all day to make, with minimal effort on your part.
