Description

A succulent turkey breast slow-cooked with a rich garlic-herb butter baste and finished under the broiler for a golden, roasted exterior.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 lb bone-in turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pat the turkey breast completely dry using paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped sage, and chopped rosemary until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  4. Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the skin of the turkey breast, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Place the turkey breast in the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  6. Carefully remove the turkey from the slow cooker and place it on a baking sheet.
  7. Broil in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Transfer the turkey to a carving board and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
