Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Turkey breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Place the turkey breast in the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour the chicken broth over the turkey to keep it moist during cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the turkey, ensuring it is well coated.
Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the turkey.
Cover the crock pot with its lid, and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the turkey is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the turkey directly in the crock pot, mixing it with the juices in the bottom of the pot for additional flavor.
Serve the shredded turkey immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
