Ingredients
Scale
- 1 â 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 (15-oz) can jellied cranberry sauce
- 1 (1-oz) package onion soup mix
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 (3-4) pound boneless turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- ¼ cup dried onion flakes
- 2 tablespoons bouillon granules
- ¼ teaspoon dried onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ¼ teaspoon celery salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon dried garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
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.
