Ingredients
Scale
Turkey
- 3 pound boneless turkey roast
Sauce
- 1 can cranberry sauce (14 ounces)
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 envelope onion soup mix (2 ounces)
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce, orange juice, onion soup mix, brown sugar, paprika, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Place Turkey in Slow Cooker: Put the boneless turkey roast at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add Sauce Over Turkey: Pour the cranberry and spice mixture evenly over the turkey in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 4 to 6 hours, or until the center of the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165℉ using an instant-read thermometer.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the turkey from the slow cooker and cut away the netting. Let the turkey rest for 10 to 15 minutes to retain juices. Then slice and serve the turkey slices alongside the sauce from the slow cooker. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

- Resting the meat after cooking helps keep it juicy and easier to slice.
- Optional fresh parsley garnish adds color and a fresh flavor note.
