Ingredients

  • 5 lb turkey breast thawed
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Put a small wire rack or a silicone rack (if you don't have a rack you can use aluminum foil to form a ring or use a sliced onion) in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Mix together the softened butter, rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, sea salt, and pepper.
  • Pat the turkey dry. Carefully lift the skin enough to rub ½ of the butter mixture on the turkey underneath the skin. Rub the remaining butter mixture over the skin.
  • Place the turkey breast on the rack. Pour the water into the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
  • Transfer the turkey breast to a rimmed baking sheet and brown the skin under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until golden, watching carefully so that it doesn't burn.
