Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 boneless turkey breast (3–4 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Meat thermometer
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

  1. Place the boneless turkey breast in the slow cooker, ensuring it sits evenly for uniform cooking.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until combined.
  3. Add thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mixture; whisk until evenly blended.
  4. Pour the mixture over the turkey breast, coating all surfaces evenly for full flavor.
  5. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the meat is tender.
  7. Let the turkey rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

For extra depth, add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika to the maple mixture. Use the leftover cooking liquid as a sauce base — simply reduce it on the stove until slightly thickened. Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
