1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme Use whole-leaf for best flavor.
1 tablespoon dried rosemary Use whole-leaf for best flavor.
to taste Salt and pepper Season lightly, as flavors concentrate during cooking.

Method

Preparation

Rub the turkey breast with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Gently pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels to ensure seasonings adhere evenly.
Center the turkey breast in the crockpot, skin-side up.

Cooking

Pour chicken broth around the turkey in the crockpot without submerging the top.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the turkey is cooked through and tender.

Serving

Slice or shred as desired and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Use a probe thermometer to track internal temperatures and avoid over-salting before cooking. Ensure not to lift the lid during the cook to maintain temperature.
