Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds turkey tenderloin about 2 pieces
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning mild, low-sodium if possible
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt optional, not needed if cajun seasoning has salt
- 1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine cajun seasoning, thyme, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder along with salt if necessary.
- Place butter, chicken broth, minced garlic, and turkey into the slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the turkey tenderloin.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours until the turkey's internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
- Carefully transfer the turkey to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Pour the garlic butter sauce from the slow cooker over the sliced turkey before serving.
Notes
Allowing the turkey to rest ensures the juices remain locked in for maximum tenderness.
You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a different flavor profile.
Adjust the level of cajun seasoning to your spice preference.
