Description

This Slow Cooker Amish Maple Turkey Breast recipe combines the sweetness of pure maple syrup with savory herbs and spices, simmered slowly to produce tender, juicy turkey perfect for a comforting autumn meal. The blend of maple, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard creates a delightful glaze that enhances the natural flavors of the turkey breast, making it an irresistible main course for family dinners or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 3-4 pound boneless turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 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. Prepare the Turkey Breast: Place the boneless turkey breast evenly in the slow cooker to ensure uniform cooking throughout.
  2. Make the Maple Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Add the dried thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder, and continue whisking until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Coat the Turkey: Pour the maple mixture over the turkey breast, making sure to coat all sides thoroughly for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
  4. Season: Season the turkey generously with salt and pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
  5. Cook the Turkey: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Allow the turkey to cook for 6 to 7 hours, until the meat is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
  6. Rest the Turkey: Remove the turkey from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting step allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring moist and flavorful slices when served.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Resting the turkey before slicing is essential to maintain juiciness and enhance flavor.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey for a different sweet flavor profile.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences before cooking.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete autumn meal.
