My family loves turkey, but I just can’t bare to man handle that raw bird and prepare it for them.
I knew there had to be a better solution, and this recipe was born!
Slow Cooker Turkey Breast Recipe:
Ingredients:
4-6 boneless, skinless turkey breasts (or turkey breast tenderloins)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
Directions:
Rinse the turkey breasts and pat dry. Rub turkey breasts with olive oil. Rub the dry onion soup mix onto each turkey breast, covering completely. Place turkey breasts in the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours (checking occasionally to be sure your turkey doesn’t dry out).

Going to try this. But is there no liquid in slow cooker ?
Hi!
There is no liquid in the slow cooker. I was a little hesitant, too! It worked out great, but you could always add a little water to the bottom of your crock pot if you wanted.
Thanks for another great idea.
Would it not burn without liquid in the Slow Cooker? Think will do this but then put the rest of the onion soup mix with water in the bottom

Yes, should a little liquid be added? Also, how many servings do this make? Looks like an amazing recipe!
Hi!

Haha I agree completely! The idea of man-handling that turkey is both daunting and frightening and I’m just not ready for it! This is the perfect solution to a mini-Thanksgiving before the big day
thanks lady!
Where did you find just turkey breasts? All I have ever seen is the whole bird.
Hi Kami!
I found my turkey breasts in the deli section. They have a lot of Jennie O products, including turkey breasts, ground turkey, etc. Hope that helps!
I have a 5 1/2 lb. turkey breast WITH THE BONE IN, should I make any adjustments? Also does it yield any drippings or juice when done cooking? I hope to try this soon! Thanks, Jenny C.
Hey Starsky99.. I just thought I would tell you I have cooked a whole bone in breast in the crock pot… it does make some juice of its own and the only adjustment is time…It takes longer.It took between 7-8 hrs on low for mine I used them 5-7lbs…and I pulled the skin up and put the soup mix directly on the breast.. I have made it more than a couple times. I have also thrown some veggies in the bottom like celery onion and carrots then used the broth that happens and make a gravy.
I’m a turkey farmer with a home blog…mind if I share this in a recipe roundup of turkey breast recipes? I will provide a little synopsis of the recipe, show the picture, and then link to your blog post. Thanks!
Hi Katie!
That is totally fine! Thanks so much!
I made this recently with just the turkey breast alone and it was one of the best things I’ve ever cooked!! I did not add any liquid, and there was enough liquid after cooking for gravy and freezing some stock. I don’t recall how long I left it in the slow cooker, but it was so flavorful! I can’t wait to make it again. Thank you for all of your wonderful posts!!
Can this be made with chicken instead of turkey?
We have only used turkey. But we see no reason why chicken wouldn’t work. May not need to cook as long, so watch it closely.
