Notes

  • Mom's crock pot turkey breast recipe calls for a 6 to 6 and a 1/2 pound boneless turkey breast.
  • Cooking a 3 lb boneless turkey breast in crock pot can also be done with this recipe. Barbara used a 3 and a half pound breast and it turned out perfect. 
  • If you are cooking a 6 lb turkey breast, the cooking time will be 6 to 8 hours. For a smaller 3 lb turkey breast, cooking time will be about 4 hours. Be sure to always use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • This is also a keto turkey breast crock pot recipe. You can modify the amounts of onions and garlic to keep it in keto range.  Low carb turkey breast for the win!  You could also pair this keto turkey breast recipe for the crock pot with Mashed Cauliflower. Double low carb for the win.
  • Can we just say---4 ingredients!  This simple turkey breast recipe in the slow cooker only has 4 ingredients.  Boneless turkey breast, oil, onion and garlic. How easy is that?
  • Be sure to season the boneless turkey breast with plenty of salt and black pepper.
  • If you'd rather start from a thawed turkey breast, use this recipe instead.
