Equipment
- 1 Slow cooker
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 Large onion peeled and sliced in wedges
- 1.5 teaspoons Fine salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Italian herb blend
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 3 pounds Skinless boneless turkey breast uncooked
Instructions
Instructions
- Pat your turkey breast dry with paper towels real good so the spices stick better and you don’t end up with soggy meat.
- Slice your onion in wedges from root to stem and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. These form a kinda natural rack for the turkey.
- Mix salt, black pepper, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl until blended.
- Make about a dozen shallow slits all over the top side of your turkey breast with a paring knife. This helps seasoning get down deeper in the meat.
- Rub the spice mix all over the turkey breast, covering every inch especially in those slits.
- Put the turkey breast on top of the onion wedges inside the slow cooker, slits facing up to hold seasoning. Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours and 30 minutes, or until your thermometer reads 165ºF.
Notes
Refrigerate cooked turkey overnight before slicing for deli-style thin slices. Freeze leftovers for up to three months for easy weekly meal prep.
