Ingredients
- 1 onion quartered, large
- 1 turkey breast bone-in, whole, with skin, 5 to 7 pounds
- 3/4 cup chicken broth low sodium
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more for the gravy
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 tablespoon thyme dried
- 1 tablespoon rosemary dried
- 1 tablespoon sage dried
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the onion, turkey breast (breast side down), broth, and bay leaves in a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Carefully transfer the turkey to a carving board and loosely tent with foil while preparing the gravy.
- Strain the liquid in the slow cooker into a saucepan. Let it settle for five minutes then skim the fat from the surface. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the gravy. Simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring, until thickened completely. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove the skin and discard before carving the turkey into slices. Serve alongside warm gravy.
Notes
- The cook time will vary depending on the size of your turkey and your slow cooker. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
