Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless turkey breast
- 8 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Carefully loosen the skin of the turkey breast and spread half of the butter mixture underneath the skin. Rub the remaining butter mixture on top of the skin for even seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey breast on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Place the turkey breast in the crock pot. Add the chicken broth, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.
Tuck the sage leaves around the turkey in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the turkey breast from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the turkey with the reserved cooking juices drizzled on top for extra flavor.
