Slow Cooker Boneless Turkey Breast

Ingredients:

3 lb boneless turkey breast
4 Tbps butter (softened)
1 large yellow onion
2 tsp kosher salt (1 tsp if turkey is brined)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried or fresh oregano
1 tsp dried or fresh thyme
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric

Directions:

1. Spread a bit of butter over the bottom of the slow cooker.

2. Slice onion into 1/2 inch slices and place slices over the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Remove turkey breast from packaging and discard twine. Pat turkey dry.

4. Make rub by mixing salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, and turmeric into the softened butter.

5. Spread a little of the rub on the bottom of the turkey and place in slow cooker. Spread the majority of the rub on the rest of the turkey. If the turkey has skin, lift up the skin and spread the rub underneath.

6. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours (This is often too long. Check temperature at 3 hours).

7. (optional) If you want crispy skin, place the turkey skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and broil for 5-10 minutes.

8. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

9. (optional) To make gravy from drippings, melt 2 Tbps of butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbps flour and whisk together. Cook for at least one minute. Pour in drippings and continue to whisk until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Supplement with chicken stock if needed.
