Ingredients To Make a 3 Pound Boneless Turkey Breast in Crock Pot

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this slow cooker boneless turkey breast recipe:

• Boneless Turkey Breast: use fresh or frozen turkey breast in this recipe. If using frozen, make sure to thaw ahead of time.
• Whole Berry or Jellied Cranberry Sauce: I used canned jellied cranberries because that is what I had on hand, but whole berries will work just as good sauce for this recipe. You can use this homemade cranberry sauce if you prefer - it's so delicious!
• Packet of Brown Gravy Mix: use a brown gravy mix packet.
• Orange Juice: you can use any brand or type of orange juice. I would suggest using quality orange juice without pulp.

Substitutions and Variations

• Use cranberry juice in place of orange juice.
• Use jellied canned cranberries or whole-berry cranberry sauce if desired.
• Add herbs to the slow cooker, such as oregano, thyme, or rosemary.
• Substitute chicken breasts for turkey breasts if you can't find them at your grocery store.
• A pork loin or tenderloin roast may be substituted. Cook until it reaches 140 degrees. Tent with foil for 10 minutes before slicing.

How To Make Boneless Turkey Breast in Crock Pot

Here's how to make this easy crockpot turkey breast:

1. Mix together cranberry sauce, orange juice, and gravy mix.

2. Place turkey in crockpot and top with cranberry gravy mix.

3. Cover and cook on low until done. Remove the turkey and place it on a board. Cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.

Hint: Make sure to check the internal temperature of your turkey breast with an instant-read thermometer to determine the proper doneness. Remove the turkey at 160 degrees so that when you let it rest covered in foil, it rises to 165 degrees F. This prevents it from overcooking and keeps it juicy and tender!
