Can I use a bone-in turkey breast?

Yes! You can use a bone-in turkey breast, but make sure to adjust the cooking time slightly. It may take a little longer to reach the desired internal temperature (165°F).

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Absolutely. The turkey can be made a day or two ahead of time. Simply store it in the fridge, and when you’re ready to serve, reheat it in the oven or microwave, spooning over the maple sauce for extra flavor.

Can I use maple-flavored syrup instead of pure maple syrup?

While pure maple syrup is best for flavor and authenticity, you can use maple-flavored syrup as a substitute in a pinch. Just keep in mind that it won’t have the same depth of flavor as pure maple syrup.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Place the boneless turkey breast in the slow cooker. Ensure it is sitting evenly for uniform cooking.
In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Add the thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder, and continue to whisk until fully combined.
Pour the maple mixture over the turkey breast, coating it evenly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is fork-tender.
Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This ensures the juices redistribute, keeping the turkey moist and flavorful.

Notes

You can prep the maple mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge for easy assembly the next day.

If you prefer a more intense maple flavor, you can increase the amount of maple syrup.

For a crispier exterior, baste the turkey with the cooking liquid halfway through the cooking time.
