You can use either boneless or bone-in, but definitely get skin on turkey breast. The skin will keep the breast from drying out and will self baste the meat while it slow cooks. Plus, the golden brown turkey skin you get after broiling is gorgeous.
Which crock pot to use?
Since we are a little family of two, we have the casserole crock, which holds 2.5 quarts. It’s so cute and perfectly-sized for a turkey breast roast!
Can I use an instant pot?
Yes! You can just use the slow cooker low mode and follow this recipe exactly the same, but you can even pressure cook and it’ll taste just as good!
To make this turkey in the Instant Pot, place the aromatics in the bottom of the insert and place the turkey on top. The turkey should be raised a little, if it isn’t, add the Instant Pot rack to lift it up. Add 1/2 cup no sodium chicken stock and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes per pound of turkey. Quick release when done and broil in a high oven for crispy skin, if desired.
