Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless turkey breast
- 1 ounces dry onion soup mix
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 14 ounces cranberry sauce canned or fresh
- ½ cup orange juice
Instructions
- Open the turkey breast and drain it well. Pat the turkey with paper towels to dry. Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Lay the turkey breast on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a bowl add onion soup mix, paprika, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, brown sugar, cranberry sauce and orange juice. Mix the ingredients together.
- Pour the cranberry sauce mixture over the turkey breast. Cover the slow cooker and set the heat to low heat. Cook the turkey breast for 3-4 hours until a meat thermometer reads a temperature of 165 degrees.
- Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes on a cutting board. Slice and serve the turkey breast with the cranberry sauce from the slow cooker. Enjoy!

Notes
- The turkey will continue to cook while it is resting, so if the turkey reads an internal temperature of at least 160 when removed from the slow cooker the turkey is done as long as you let the meat rest.
- Let the turkey rest on a cutting board for at least 20 minutes. This keeps all of the juices inside the turkey from immediately spilling out when you slice the turkey and will keep the meat more juicy and moist. Don't skip it! You can place aluminum foil over the turkey if you are concerned with the turkey becoming too cold.
- I don't recommend cooking this turkey breast on high heat in the slow cooker. If you want to cook turkey breast faster I recommend roasting it in the oven instead.
