Juicy Crockpot Turkey Breast

You might never make turkey breast any other way but this, this creates the most flavorful juiciest turkey breast you will ever have! do not be tempted to add in water or broth, the slow-cooking will create juice. This can also be done using a whole chicken. If you have time rub soup ingredients on and underneath the skin of the breast, wrap in foil and refrigerate for 24 hours. To cook 2 breasts just double the recipe. Do not add in any extra salt.


1 (6-7 lb) turkey breast (do not remove the skin on top of the breast!)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (can use less)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1 (1 ounce) envelope of Lipton's dry onion soup mix

1. Rince the breast under cold water, then pat dry using paper towel.
2. Lightly rub vegetable oil all over the turkey breast.
3. In a small bowl mix together the onion soup mix with garlic and black pepper, then rub all over the breast and underneath the skin (at this point you can cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours).
4. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
5. Reduce the heat to LOW and cook for about 7 hours (7 hours is for a 6-pound breast, for a larger breast increase the cooking time slightly).
