Ingredients

2 lb boneless turkey breast
3 apples, peeled and diced
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cups cubed bread
2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp melted butter
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, chopped onion, bread cubes, fresh sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, chicken broth, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Stir until the bread is evenly moistened.
Spread the stuffing mixture evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
Season the turkey breast on all sides with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of cinnamon.
Place the seasoned turkey breast directly on top of the stuffing layer.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the turkey breast, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve alongside the apple sage stuffing.

Notes

For the best texture, use slightly stale bread cubes so the stuffing holds together without turning mushy. If the stuffing looks dry near the end of cooking, add a small splash of broth around the edges. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a little extra broth to keep the turkey moist.
