Ingredients
Scale
Turkey
- 1 3-4 pound boneless turkey breast
Marinade & Seasonings
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Season the Turkey Breast: Pat the boneless turkey breast dry with paper towels. Place it in the slow cooker and pour the prepared marinade evenly over the turkey, making sure it is well coated on all sides.
- Slow Cook the Turkey: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C). The slow cooking process will ensure the turkey breast is tender and juicy.
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more flavorful and moist. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to verify the proper internal temperature.
- You can add vegetables like carrots and potatoes around the turkey breast in the slow cooker for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, pour the cooking liquids into a saucepan and simmer until reduced to your desired consistency.
- Leftover turkey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
