Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3–4 pound boneless turkey breast
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

Prepare the Turkey Breast
  1. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and place it in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Make the Maple Glaze
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and well combined.
Coat the Turkey
  1. Pour the maple glaze over the turkey breast, making sure it’s evenly coated. Use a spoon or brush to spread the mixture across the entire surface. Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the top to taste.
Cook Slowly
  1. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours, or until the turkey breast is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Rest Before Slicing
  1. Once fully cooked, carefully remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the turkey moist.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Slice the turkey breast and spoon some of the maple glaze from the slow cooker over the slices for extra flavor. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
  2. Enjoy!
