This easy 4-ingredient recipe for Cranberry Turkey Breast produces a tender, sweet, and delicious turkey that’s packed with flavor.
Here are some easy weeknight meals that everyone will love.
Cooking turkey breast using a slow cooker is very smart and easy. This turkey with cranberry sauce recipe is my new favorite way to make it, so I’m so excited to share it with you. Honestly, this tastes pretty fancy, but it’s just a can of cranberries, a pack of Lipton’s onion soup, and orange juice.
I came across this idea on Allrecipes.com a few months ago and had to give it a try since it’s low effort. The reviews are great too, so I’m not the only one who loves this meal. I’ve made it several times, but this time I added green beans!
This combination produces the most glossy turkey breast. The sauce is irresistible. I didn’t even need to use the packet of gravy that came with the brisket.
I love how tender and juicy this slow cooker turkey breast is. My whole family was impressed, and I think you will be too.

Additional tips for making cranberry slow cooker turkey breast:
If you have a larger group, you can easily double this recipe and use two turkey breasts. Before you begin, make sure the turkey breast is thawed and leave the string attached. That helps hold it together. Remove the strings and cut it when it is cooked. Make sure the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165 degrees. I use an instant-read thermometer to check.
A cranberry-crusted turkey could be an easy mini-Thanksgiving meal.
If you want to host a meal for just a few people, this might be the one for you. Just add mashed potatoes and bread rolls and you’re good to go. I topped it with crunchy onions before eating and it was very delicious. This cranberry-onion soup combination can also be a great sauce to try on other main dishes, like pork chops or meatballs.
The leftovers are delicious too!
