Ingredients
Scale
Turkey Breast
- 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
- Prepare the Turkey: Start by placing your boneless turkey breast evenly in the slow cooker, making sure it sits flat for even cooking.
- Make the Maple Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined. Add dried thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder, whisking well to distribute the herbs and spices evenly.
- Coat the Turkey: Pour the maple glaze over the turkey breast, ensuring all surfaces are coated with the mixture to infuse sweet and savory flavors in every bite.
- Season: Generously season the turkey with salt and pepper to enhance and balance the flavors of the maple-herb glaze.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook the turkey on low for 6-7 hours. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender to the touch.
- Rest: After cooking, remove the turkey and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is juicy and flavorful before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check for the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- For more pronounced maple flavor, baste the turkey once or twice during cooking with the glaze.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- This recipe works well for both small and medium-sized turkey breasts; adjust time accordingly if using a larger piece.
- Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
