Description

A tender and flavorful slow cooker turkey breast recipe perfect for a comforting family meal. The turkey is slow-cooked with a blend of brown gravy mix, ranch seasoning, and classic poultry spices, then finished with a rich homemade gravy made directly in the slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale

Turkey and Seasonings

  • 1 boneless turkey breast (3-5 pounds)
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 Tbsp butter

Gravy and Seasoning Mixes

  • 2 envelopes (0.87 oz each) brown gravy mix
  • 1 envelope (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Turkey: Remove the netting from the turkey breast and place the breast in the slow cooker.
  2. Make the Seasoning Gravy Mix: In a small bowl, combine one packet of brown gravy mix, the ranch seasoning, and water. Stir until well mixed, then pour this mixture evenly over the turkey breast in the slow cooker.
  3. Add Dry Spices and Butter: Combine the paprika, poultry seasoning, and pepper in a small bowl, then sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the turkey. Place the butter on top of the turkey breast.
  4. Slow Cook the Turkey: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 3 to 5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads between 165°F and 170°F.
  5. Rest the Turkey: Remove the cooked turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Make the Gravy: While the turkey rests, whisk the remaining brown gravy envelope into the cooking liquid left in the slow cooker until smooth and heated through.
  7. Serve: Slice the turkey breast and serve with the homemade gravy poured on top or on the side.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature of 165-170°F.
  • Resting the turkey before slicing helps keep it moist and tender.
  • If your slow cooker tends to cook hotter, check for doneness after 3 hours to avoid drying out the turkey.
  • Leftover gravy can be refrigerated and used within 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage.
