Ingredients
Scale
Turkey
- 1 (3-4 pound) boneless turkey breast
Maple Glaze
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Turkey: Place the boneless turkey breast in the slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably for even cooking.
- Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Coat the Turkey: Pour the maple syrup glaze mixture evenly over the turkey breast, making sure the meat is well-coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the turkey to enhance the flavor according to your taste.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the turkey on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or until the turkey is fully cooked and tender, reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, then slice and serve.

- You can add vegetables like carrots or potatoes to the slow cooker for a complete meal.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; maple syrup adds sweetness that balances savory spices.
