Description

A tender, flavorful turkey breast slow-cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich cranberry gravy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-4 pound) turkey breast, bone-in, skin-on
  • Salt and pepper, for seasoning
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 can (14 oz) cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning the turkey breast liberally with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the quartered onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Position the turkey breast on top of the onions, skin side up.
  4. Pour the chicken stock around the turkey.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the cranberry sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
  7. If desired, remove the turkey breast and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Using bone-in, skin-on cuts helps retain moisture. Letting the turkey rest after cooking allows juices to redistribute.
