Ingredients

Scale

Turkey

  • 1 3-4 pound boneless turkey breast

Maple Glaze

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Turkey: Place the boneless turkey breast evenly into the slow cooker to ensure uniform cooking throughout.
  2. Make the Maple Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Then add the dried thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder, whisking until all herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Coat the Turkey: Pour the maple mixture evenly over the turkey breast, making sure to cover all surfaces for a balanced sweet and savory flavor.
  4. Season: Generously season the turkey with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors of the glaze and herbs.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook the turkey breast on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165°F, indicating it is fully cooked and tender.
  6. Rest the Meat: Once done, let the turkey breast rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. This resting period helps the meat retain its juices, resulting in moist and flavorful slices.

Notes

  • Ensure the turkey breast is fully thawed before cooking to guarantee even slow cooking.
  • A meat thermometer is essential to check for doneness and to avoid overcooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For added flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or sage to the maple glaze.
  • This recipe is ideal for holiday meals, family dinners, or any occasion needing a simple yet delicious turkey breast.
