A bone-in turkey breast fits neatly into this slow cooker approach, using a thawed 6 to 7-pound breast in a 6-quart cooker. The recipe finishes with sliced turkey after a short rest, with the internal temperature guiding the cook rather than the clock alone.

Olive oil goes on first, followed by a rub made from garlic powder, seasoned salt, paprika, Italian seasoning, pepper, and onion powder. The seasoning is applied over the entire turkey before it goes into the slow cooker breast-side up.
