🦃🌿 A Simple Thanksgiving for a Small Gathering 🌿🦃

Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t have to mean preparing a whole turkey. Sometimes a smaller gathering calls for a simpler meal, with all the comforting flavors we look forward to each year. 💛

This boneless turkey breast cooks right in the slow cooker with rosemary, thyme, sage, and Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth. A little olive oil helps the herbs cling to the turkey, and there’s no butter needed. It’s an easy way to make a lovely holiday meal while leaving the oven free for your favorite side dishes!

🌿 RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker Turkey Breast 🌿

Serves: Approximately 6–8
Cook time: Approximately 3–5 hours on LOW

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 boneless turkey breast roast, about 3 pounds, fully thawed if frozen
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter-flavored olive oil
• ¾ cup Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, lightly crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon dried sage
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Salt, optional, to taste after cooking

🍽️ Directions

1. Remove the turkey from its outer packaging and remove any gravy packet. If the roast has cooking netting, leave it on while cooking to help the turkey hold its shape. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, mix the rosemary, thyme, sage, paprika, and black pepper.
3. Rub the turkey with the olive oil, then sprinkle the herb mixture over all sides.
4. Pour the unsalted chicken broth into the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the turkey in the broth with the smoother or skin side facing up.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 3–5 hours. Begin checking the temperature around 2½–3 hours, since slow cookers and turkey breasts vary.
6. Check the thickest part of the turkey in more than one spot with a food thermometer. When it reaches 165°F, remove the turkey from the slow cooker.
7. Let the turkey rest loosely covered for 10–15 minutes. Carefully remove the netting, if used, and slice. Spoon a little of the warm cooking liquid over the turkey before serving.

🌿 Helpful Notes

• A food thermometer is the best way to help keep turkey breast moist. Even in a slow cooker, it can dry out if it cooks too long.

• Keep the lid closed while the turkey cooks, except when checking its temperature.

• Some boneless turkey roasts already contain a salt solution or seasoning. Check the label and taste the cooked turkey before adding salt.

• Fully thaw the turkey in the refrigerator before putting it in the slow cooker. Check the package directions, too; if your particular roast is labeled to cook from frozen or does not offer slow-cooker directions, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

• The turkey will be tender, although it won’t develop the same browned, crisp exterior as an oven-roasted turkey.

💛 A little RosemaryThyme note

A peaceful Thanksgiving meal doesn’t have to be complicated. Add a few favorite sides, gather the people you love around the table, and enjoy the blessing of being together. This turkey would be lovely served with our Blue Cranberries and Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Gratin. 🍂
