  • 1 TBSP onion powder
  • 1 TBSP garlic salt

  1. 1

    Unwrap the turkey breast and place the gravy packet in the fridge for later, if using. Keep the netting on and pat the turkey completely dry.

    Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the crockpot.

  4. 4

    Add fresh herb sprigs to the bottom (optional).

  5. 5

    Place the turkey breast on top of the herbs.

  6. 6

    Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours.

  7. 7

    Remove the turkey from the crockpot. Use the drippings to make the gravy according to the packet instructions.

  8. 8

    Slice the turkey and serve with warm gravy.
