Instructions

Spray a 5-6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray and place the cranberries on the bottom in a single layer.
Layer the sliced jellied cranberry sauce on top of the cranberries, and sprinkle with half of the onion soup mix.
Mix the orange juice and sugar (if using) together, then pour it into the slow cooker.
Rub the turkey breast with the remaining onion soup mix and place it in the slow cooker, dotting it with sliced butter.
Add rosemary sprigs next to the turkey breast for extra flavor.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, then reduce to LOW for 4-5 hours, until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes, then remove the rosemary and slice. Stir the cranberry sauce with the juices and serve it over the turkey.

Notes

For a sweeter sauce, add more sugar according to your taste preferences.
Allowing the turkey to rest before slicing ensures it’s juicy and tender.
Use fresh herbs for an added flavor boost.
