How to slow cook turkey breasts
| Weight (pounds) | 3-5 | 5-7 | 7-9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oven Time (hours) | 1 – 2 ¼ | 2 ¼ – 3 | 3 – 3 ½ |
| Slow Cook (high) | 3 – 4 | 4 – 5 | 5 – 6 |
| Slow Cook (low) | 5 – 6 | 6 – 7 | 7 – 8 |
NOTE: We highly recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure doneness as every slow cooker cooks differently. Internal temperature needs to be 165°F in both the thickest part of the breast (without touching the bone) and in the thighs to ensure doneness and food safety.

Tip #2
The skin of the breast can also be brushed with cooking oil to promote browning and enhance flavor.

1/2 cup of liquid (water, broth, wine) can be used to add moisture and prevent the meat from sticking to the pot’s surface.
