• 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced

Directions

Step 1

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the turkey breast.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the bottom of a slow cooker.

Pour the liquid mixture over the turkey breast in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, check if the turkey breast is tender. It should easily shred with forks. If not, cook for an additional 30 minutes and check again.

Once tender, remove the turkey breast from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board.

Use two forks to gently pull apart and shred the turkey.
