Description
A tender turkey breast coated with a sweet maple glaze, perfect for cozy dinners and meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3-4 lb) turkey breast, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in the slow cooker, ensuring it fits snugly.
- Whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Pour the maple glaze generously over the turkey breast, making sure it’s evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 360-480 minutes or high for 180-240 minutes, until the turkey is tender and a meat thermometer registers 165°F.
- Remove the turkey from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Slice the turkey into pieces, and pour some leftover glaze from the slow cooker over the slices just before serving.
Notes
Marinate the turkey overnight for richer flavors and slice against the grain for tender pieces. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
