Ingredients

1 c Broth or Water
6-8 lb. Bone In Turkey Breast thawed
2 Stalks of Celery cut in half
2 Carrots cut in half
1 Onion peeled and halved
1 tbsp. Butter softened to room temperature
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Poultry Seasoning
Sprig of Fresh Rosemary
3 Sprigs of Fresh Thyme

Instructions

Turn the slow cooker on high and place lid on to preheat while prepping.
Place the celery and carrots on the bottom of the cooking crock so that the turkey breast can rest on them while cooking.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that your turkey is thawed. Remove the turkey from the store packaging and dry with paper towels; set aside on a plate.
Rub the turkey with softened butter and season inside and out. Place the turkey breast in the slow cooker.
Add additional aromatics around the turkey - onion, rosemary and thyme.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook oh High for 30 minutes. Reduce to the Low setting and continue to cook 5 hours or until the internal temperature of the turkey reads 165°F or higher.
Transfer the cooked turkey breast to a platter, cover with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Notes

Season the turkey breast to suit your own taste. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand then don't sweat it.

Place turkey slices on a garnished platter for serving, if desired.

Allow 2-3 days for turkey breast to fully thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.

The bone in turkey breast may be cooked entirely on the high setting, if desired, and will take around 3 hours. Check internal temperature for doneness and adjust cooking times if needed.
