I used a 3lb. turkey breast. Sprayed crock pot with olive oil spray. layered bottom of crock with pieces of whole wheat toast with chopped onion and chopped celery. Rubbed the turkey with olive oil then poultry seasoning, basil, sage and rosemary and laid turkey on top of toast mixture. Awesome! - 1/2/14

over 1000 mg of sodium per serving?!?!?! that certainly isn't healthy at all. If you are using the slow cooker, you don't need any broth at all. just roast on low... it should be juicy without all the broth and sodium. - 11/26/13

Thank you for your reply. You are correct. However, I use fat free, low sodium chicken broth for flavor and I use a fresh turkey breast without skin. I adjusted recipe to reflect "raw" turkey and low sodium broth. I used preloaded nutritional info for the raw turkey but am not sure it's accurate.

I've tried to do a turkey breast in the crockpot, and there is no way you're going to get crispy-looking skin like in the picture. The breast was moist, but the skin will be like rubber. - 11/26/13

Thank you for your reply. I have since edited my recipe to let others know that the skin should be removed. This is a "low fat" recipe and yields a moist and delicious turkey that can be served on it's own or shredded for sandwiches/casseroles.

Made this yesterday - I actually used a frozen turkey breast 1/2 (skinless/boneless) and it turned out delicious. I'm never ceased to be amazed about the people who criticize without first making the recipe. My turkey breast was well cooked - I used a meat thermometer, tasty and healthy! - 2/1/16

I make this all the time (no broth- just water) ~ the turkey breast comes out so moist & delicious. I serve it with Roasted Veggies & Small Cut Up Red Potatoes all roasted together, quick easy meal for someone that works all day. I can still have the kids (adults) over on a work night for dinner. - 10/11/14

Thanks for the tip. I've never tried it with water and will definitely give it a try. We love this turkey. We have a meal or two and I have enough for lunch a couple of days. A friend suggested diluted apple juice/apple cider. Haven't tried that though.

If crispy skin were an issue, I could only rate this as "very good," but I don't eat the skin, anyway. I did add some celery and poultry seasoning and used no-salt-added broth. This was very tender and tasty. I will definitely make this again! - 11/30/13

Thanks for your reply. The picture does not reflect the recipe. The skin is removed before cooking so there's nothing crispy at all. I have added onion, celery and poultry seasoning and enjoyed it as well.

This is a great way to do a turkey breast. When I crock pot it, I put the stuffing mix with cranberries in the pot with it; very delicious. This year, I could not find a half-breast, and I won't use those with all the additives, so did a 6 lb breast in the larger crock. Love the leftovers! - 11/26/17

I don't think that a turkey breast in the slow cooker is going to look visually appealing without any kind of browning. It must of been one step you forgot to mention since your photo shows it crispy looking! - 11/26/13

Thank you for your reply. I didn't add this picture and it doesn't represent the finished product at all. The skin is removed before cooking and the turkey breast is basically boiled. It's excelllent if you're trying to eat low fat/low sodium and very moist and tender.
