For an even more flavorful turkey, consider adding a few sprigs of fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the slow cooker along with the turkey breast.
If you prefer a crisper skin, you can broil the turkey breast for a few minutes after slow cooking. Place the cooked turkey breast on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, watching carefully to prevent burning.
The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. Always check the internal temperature with a thermometer to ensure the turkey is fully cooked.
