Savor the Flavor: Herb-Infused Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Ingredients

• 1 boneless turkey breast weighing 5 pounds
• a dash of salt and ground black pepper, seasoned to your liking
• 5 sprigs of fresh rosemary, split into two portions
• 5 sprigs of fresh thyme, separated as well
• 1 white onion, roughly chopped and distributed
• ½ cup butter, cut into slices
• 2 cups of freshly chopped celery leaves
• ½ bottle (750 milliliters) of white wine, adjust to your preference

Step 1

Prepare the turkey breast by giving it a gentle rinse and then drying it off using paper towels. Add a generous sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning. For a burst of flavor, stuff the turkey breast cavity with aromatic rosemary and thyme sprigs, chopped onions, and slices of butter.

Step 2

In a large slow cooker, create a flavorful bed by layering celery leaves, more chopped onions, and the remaining rosemary and thyme sprigs. Gently nestle the seasoned turkey breast, ensuring it sits atop the bed of vegetables and herbs with the top side facing down. To infuse moisture and richness, pour in a splash of white wine before covering the slow cooker.

Step 3

Let the magic happen as you cook on High heat until the turkey meat reaches a succulent tenderness. Check for doneness by using an instant-read meat thermometer – the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast should reach 170 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius), which usually takes around 6 hours. After cooking, allow the turkey breast to rest for 15 minutes before elegantly slicing and serving.
