Cooking a turkey breast using the slow cooker is super smart and easy. This cranberry glazed turkey recipe is my new favorite way to prepare it, and I’m so excited to share it with you. Honestly, this tastes super fancy yet is just a can of cranberries, packet of Lipton onion soup, and orange juice.
I spotted this idea on Allrecipes.com a couple of months ago and had to try it do to the low-effort aspect. The reviews are excellent, so I’m not the only one loving this meal. We have made it a few times and I now add green beans with it!
This combination makes the best-glazed turkey breast! The sauce is so darn irresistible. I didn’t even have to use the gravy packet that came with the breast!
I love how tender and juicy this slow cooker turkey breast turns out. My whole family was impressed and I know yours will be too.

Cranberry orange turkey breast with a savory sweet sauce that is irresistible and easy to make in the Crock-Pot.

1
Place the green beans and then turkey breast in the slow cooker. Season the turkey breast. Pour the cranberries over, onion soup, and orange juice.
2
Close the lid and cook for around 3 hours on high or 6 on low. You'll know it's done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Extra tips for making cranberry slow cooker turkey breast:
- You could easily double this recipe for a larger group and use two turkey breasts!
- Before starting, make sure your turkey breast is thawed and keep the strings on. It helps keep it together. Remove the strings and slice after it’s cooked.
- Be sure your turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. I use an instant-read thermometer to check.
Cranberry glazed turkey could be an easy mini-Thanksgiving meal!
If you are wanting to host a meal for just a few people this could be it. Just include some mashed potatoes and rolls and you’ll be set. I topped ours with crunchy onions before serving and it was so YUM. This cranberry onion soup combo could be a great sauce to try for other entrees too such as pork chops or meatballs.
The leftovers on this meal are delicious as well!
Green beans are not on ingredients list. Can’t watch try this. Thanks.
Whoops thanks for catching that Kay. It’s a 16 oz. bag of fresh trimmed green beans. 🙂
Thanks for sharing Lina. Definitely going to try this – I think my husband will love it. PS I love your shorts -can you share the brand with us? Thanks!
Thanks Becca! Oh those were the Target linen shorts. So great for $15!
It looks fabulous. Trying to think of a sub for the onion soup mix. Any ideas?
Hey there! You might try subbing in onion powder or fresh sliced onion as an alternative to the soup mix. 🤗
