This is great for a small Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving meal when you don’t want to cook a whole turkey! Serve it with a few Thanksgiving side dish recipes like my go-to Cranberry Pear Sauce which can be made a few days ahead, Buttermilk Mashes Potatoes which my husband loves, and Mom’s Stuffing!

Healthy turkey dinner on a plate.

This recipe is modified from the Slow Cooker Revolution Cookbook. It’s a great base, I can see playing around with the ingredients in this recipe. If you prefer using your air fryer, try this Air Fryer Turkey Breast recipe.

The slow cooker I own is the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker. I love this crock pot because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it’s done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old slow cooker, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This slow cooker is so great and inexpensive, I actually own three!
