This Crockpot turkey breast recipe is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it dinner. Tender turkey breast and baby Yukon Gold potatoes cook low and slow in a rich, creamy sauce made with golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and aged Swiss cheese.
The result is a comforting, homestyle meal that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, but it's ready with just 10 minutes of prep.
When you need a hearty dinner without the fuss, this slow cooker turkey breast recipe delivers. The combination of golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and Swiss cheese creates a luscious, savory sauce that coats every bite.
Baby potatoes soak up all that flavor, turning fork-tender and creamy. Simply layer the ingredients, set the slow cooker, and come back to a bubbling pot of comfort food that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless turkey breast cutlets
- 1 1/2 lb baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed golden mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded aged Swiss cheese
Why this recipe works
The slow cooker does all the work here, turning lean turkey breast into succulent, pull-apart meat. Cooking on LOW for several hours allows the natural juices to meld with the creamy sauce, keeping the turkey moist and flavorful.
The potatoes cook alongside, absorbing the savory broth and becoming tender enough to cut with a fork.
This recipe is built on the 'dump and go' method: no browning, no sautéing, no stirring. The condensed soup acts as a built-in thickener, while the sour cream and Swiss cheese melt into a velvety sauce.
Layering the ingredients without mixing keeps the flavors distinct at first, but they meld beautifully during the long, gentle cooking.
Notes and substitutions
Use boneless turkey breast cutlets for even cooking and easy shredding. If you have a whole breast, you can cut it into large chunks. Baby Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal because they hold their shape and have a buttery texture, but you can substitute baby red potatoes or even quartered regular Yukon Golds.
Golden mushroom soup adds a savory depth that pairs perfectly with the Swiss cheese. If you can't find it, cream of mushroom soup is a fine substitute. For the cheese, aged Swiss has a nuttier, more pronounced flavor, but regular Swiss or Gruyère also work. The sour cream should be full-fat for the creamiest result.
- golden mushroom soup: cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup for a different flavor
- aged Swiss cheese: Gruyère or white cheddar for a nuttier or sharper taste
- baby Yukon Gold potatoes: baby red potatoes or fingerling potatoes
- boneless turkey breast cutlets: boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (adjust cooking time as needed)
