Saturday plan: slow cooker turkey breast [View all]

Today I saw boneless turkey breast on sale for $2.99/lb, and since it's Tuesday I get a 10% senior discount. I bought one that's about 2.75 lb.

I plan to make it in a slow cooker (actually an instant pot, slow cooker setting). My plan is to throw some thick sliced onions on the bottom, coat the breast with softened butter, some kosher salt & pepper, some paprika and some herbs, place it on top of the onions and seal it up. Four hours later, I pull it out and let it rest for about 20 minutes while I make a gravy with the juices that come out.

Never did this before, but it sounds like a solid plan. Anyone have a comment?

Sounds delicious (and I am a vegetarian but used to cook turkey). I might add some celery to the onion bed. Nanuke Apr 2025 #1
