Juicy Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Ingredients:

• 1 (4-6 lb) bone-in or boneless turkey breast
• 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for gravy)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Turkey Breast:
   Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil or melted butter all over the turkey.
2. Season:
   Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey breast, including under the skin if possible.
3. Place in Slow Cooker:
   Pour the chicken or turkey broth into the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seasoned turkey breast in the slow cooker, skin side up.
4. Cook:
   Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part of the breast. For faster cooking, cook on high for 3-4 hours.
5. Optional Step for Crispy Skin:
   Once the turkey is cooked, place it on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy.
6. Make Gravy (Optional):
   Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry, then whisk it into the liquid. Bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened.
7. Serve:
   Slice the turkey breast and serve with the gravy and your favorite sides.
