Ingredients
- 6-7 pounds turkey breast bone-in
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 1/2 cup butter softened, 4 ounces, salted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon rosemary dried
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup orange juice 8 ounces
Instructions
- If the turkey breast does not fit in the slow cooker, remove the backbone, as you would if you spatchcock the turkey. Turn the turkey over and cut close to the backbone on each side, then discard the bone. This will allow you to press the turkey down slightly in order to fit in the slow cooker. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. 6-7 pounds bone-in turkey breast
- Place the chopped onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. 1 large onion
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, rosemary and pepper. Mix well. 1/2 cup salted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Loosen the skin of the turkey and rub most of the butter under the skin. Rub any remaining butter on the outside of the turkey. Place the turkey on top of the onions.
- Pour the orange juice over the turkey. 1 cup orange juice
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the turkey breast reaches at least 165º Fahrenheit.
- To brown the skin, heat the oven on low broil. Remove the turkey from the crockpot and place it in a baking pan or baking sheet. Baste the turkey with the juices. Broil the turkey for 10-15 minutes, watching it closely and rotating as needed to evenly brown the skin.
- Allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
