  • Total Time: 4 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Turkey and Seasonings

  • 1 boneless turkey breast (3-5 pounds)
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Gravy and Flavor Enhancers

  • 2 (0.87 ounce) envelopes brown gravy mix, divided
  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope ranch seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 4 Tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Turkey: Remove any netting or packaging from the turkey breast and place it into the slow cooker, ensuring it lays flat for even cooking.
  2. Mix Gravy and Seasoning Liquid: In a small bowl, combine one packet of the brown gravy mix, the ranch seasoning envelope, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir until well blended. Pour this mixture evenly over the turkey breast in the slow cooker.
  3. Add Dry Seasonings and Butter: In a separate small bowl, mix the paprika, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the turkey breast. Place the butter in chunks on top of the turkey.
  4. Slow Cook the Turkey: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 3 to 5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads between 165°F and 170°F, indicating the turkey is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  5. Rest the Turkey: Carefully remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and set it aside. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender meat.
  6. Prepare the Gravy: While the turkey rests, whisk the remaining brown gravy mix envelope into the liquid left in the slow cooker to create a rich, flavorful gravy.
  7. Serve: Slice the turkey breast and serve with the freshly made gravy poured over the top or on the side.

Notes

  • Ensure the turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety and optimal juiciness.
  • Resting the turkey after cooking is important to retain moisture.
  • Use a boneless turkey breast for even cooking and ease of slicing.
  • For thicker gravy, simmer the gravy sauce on the stovetop for a few minutes to reduce.
  • Cooking time may vary based on slow cooker brand and turkey breast size, so monitor temperature instead of time alone.
