  • Line the bottom with onion slices and celery sticks.
  • Pour broth.
  • Place the garlic herb butter-coated turkey on top of the veggies.
  • Cover and cook on Low heat for about 6 hours or until an inserted thermometer in the thickest part of the meat reads 165 degrees F.
  • Transfer the turkey breast to a baking tray, lined with aluminum foil.
  • Optional step: Broil in oven for 4-5 minutes or until top is golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  • While the turkey is resting, use the leftover liquid from the slow cooker to make gravy.
  • Run it through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the solids.
  • Melt butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add flour and whisk everything together until combined.
  • Cook until mixture is light brown.
