Lightly coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the boneless turkey breast in the slow cooker.
04 Step

05 Step
Recipe View
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for approximately 7 hours, or until the turkey breast is very tender and easily shreds with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). (7 hours)
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the cranberry sauce mixture.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, use jellied cranberry sauce instead of whole berry.
This recipe works well with bone-in turkey breasts, but cooking time may need to be extended. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer.
Leftovers are delicious in sandwiches, salads, or as a topping for baked potatoes.
