Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (4-6 lb) boneless turkey breast
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and place it in the slow cooker.
- Make the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, thyme, sage, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
- Coat the Turkey: Pour the maple glaze over the turkey breast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Add Liquids: Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker (around the turkey, not directly on top).
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
