Ingredients
- 1 (3-4 pound) boneless turkey breast
- ½ cup pure maple syr up
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Start by placing the turkey breast in the slow cooker, positioning it so it sits evenly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is well combined. Pour this aromatic marinade over the turkey breast, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Season the turkey generously with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Once the turkey is prepped and seasoned, cover the appliance and set it to low heat. Allow the turkey to cook for 6-7 hours, or until it’s tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. The slow and gentle cooking process allows the flavors to meld together seamlessly, resulting in a moist and flavorful turkey breast that practically falls apart at the touch of a fork.
3. When your Slow Cooker Amish Maple Turkey Breast is ready, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a touch of seasonal flair, consider adding dried cranberries or apple slices to the marinade. If you prefer a bolder flavor profile, experiment with the addition of fresh herbs, such as rosemary or sage.
