Boneless Turkey Breast in Crock Pot

I know most people have limited oven space when it comes to making holiday meals. Normally people are looking for alternative cooking methods for side dishes since the turkey takes up most of the oven. I thought I would try making Turkey and Cornbread Dressing in the slow cooker. OMG! Why haven’t I done this before? It was amazing and SO easy to make! It also freed up the oven for all of the sides and a pecan pie!

How to Make Slow Cooker Turkey Breast Recipe

This is very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Start with making the cornbread dressing. Crumble cornbread and slices of wheat bread in a large bowl. Add chopped onion and celery to the bowl. Mix in cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and sage. Mix well. Pour the cornbread mixture into a crock pot that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Top the dressing with a thawed boneless turkey breast that has been seasoned with salt and black pepper. 

Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F. Remove the cooked turkey breast from the crock pot. Use a sharp knife to cut the turkey into slices.

  1. This recipe was fabulous! Almost just like my great-grandmothers. Your cornbread recipe was as well. The only difference in corn bread is that you added some flour. What is the science behind that? I just like to understand why. Anyway, I followed your directions and it was great!!!! Then, I made a few alterations to suit my preferences and try to match my Brest-grandmothers recipe. 1. Instead of 5-5.5 cups of broth, I added 7-7.5 cups. I really like mine moist. Then, I added 3-4 boiled eggs. And definitely errored on the side of only 1 tsp. Of sage. I prefer light safe. Then, I was actually in a pinch for time and cooked the turkey breast in the oven which only takes 1.75-2 hours. The dressing cooked in the crock pot while the turkey was cooking. Then, after the turkey was done, I cut it up into slices and put it in the crock pot on top of the dressing. This is definitely going to become one of my Thanksgiving staples! Thank you for sharing!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

  2. This sounds so yummy! My son isn’t a turkey fan, would this work with boneless/skinless chicken breasts? Would the cook time be a bit less?

  3. This looks amazing and perfect for just my hubby and I! Do you think I could sub out the cornbread for regular bread?

    1. I don't think this dressing recipe would work with plain white bread in place of all the cornbread. You can try it, but I'm not sure of the results.

  4. This looks and sounds fantastic. How did you make the gravy? I'm assuming all the liquid in the crock pot is absorbed into the dressing. Thank you and have a very blessed Thanksgiving!

    1. Awesome! Thank you. I just looked at this recipe done in the oven and now I am torn as to which one I want to try. We'll be in Canada for Thanksgiving, so maybe I'll make them the oven version and when we get home I'll make the crock pot version for us.
