Easy Slow Cooker Thanksgiving Turkey Breast Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Turkey Breast in Slow Cooker

Thanksgiving Turkey in the Slow Cooker has not been one of our long traditional family recipes but we have been making it for about the last 10 years. I am always intrigued by how other people celebrate the holidays and ask friends and coworkers what they you do for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. One of my co-worker’s family traditions that she passed on to me is this turkey breast cooked in the crockpot. Her family calls it Christmas Crockpot Turkey.

I usually do not make this recipe for our main Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner but use this dish as an easy hands-free dinner when our family is staying over several days. The turkey comes out moist tender and very flavorful as it cooks in the crockpot for 6-8 hours.

Easy Slow Cooker Thanksgiving Turkey Breast Recipe

Usually, I buy a fairly large turkey breast, however, when I went this week to purchase my turkey the price was too high. Our local store had the Jennie-O Turkey Breast which is a package with two breasts per package. They were on sale and I purchased two of the packages which gave me small breasts.

The Jennie-O was just as tender, moist, and delicious. I was able to get 2 to 3 extra meals from one crockpot recipe.

  10. Very good idea for a smaller family, or for those in confined living areas. Not everyone has access to an oven and this is a great alternative.

  11. Great idea, I am cooking my turkey sous vide this year. Another way to have it come out moist and tender. Turkey breasts are often dry.

  13. I use my slow cooker to cook turkey breasts as well. It may not be the Thanksgiving turkey but they are always tender and flavorful. Besides I love white meat and not dark so I probably make this more often. Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday.

  14. Easy peasy! We have a small family of 3 so I usually just get a frozen turkey breast and cook it. This is brilliant for Thanksgiving because it frees up your oven for other side dishes.

  15. I’ve never made a turkey, which has me super nervous.However, I can totally handle the crock pot! Eager to try this recipe. Visiting from Makers Party.

  16. I’ve never cooked turkey in a slow cooker but I don’t know why. I cook everything else in one. Going to give this a try.
