I LOVE using my Hamilton Beach Set n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker for recipes like this because I can use the thermometer probe and program the slow cooker to automatically turn to the warm mode once it reaches the internal temperature I want. No babysitting, and no worrying about overcooking. I always take poultry out of the slow cooker or oven once it reaches 1. F because the temperature will continue to rise as its resting, this helps ensure juicy and tender meat. Another thing that helps ensure juiciness is to actually cook the turkey breast side down and rest it breast side down so all the juices accumulate in the actual breast meat. Every slow cooker heats differently, so keep this in mind as well as the actual size of your turkey as you program your cooking. I would err on the side of caution and less cooking time, because you can always remove the lid and stick an instant read thermometer inside the meat to test for doneness. If its not done yet, simply keep cooking. If you make this Slow Cooker Turkey Breast, be sure to take a picture and tag it handletheheat on Instagram.
