There’s something about the fall that makes me crave the comforting flavors of maple and turkey. This slow cooker Amish maple turkey breast is perfect for those busy weekdays when you want to come home to a warm, delicious meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Inspired by the simple, hearty meals of the Amish, this dish combines the sweetness of maple syrup with savory herbs, creating a tender and flavorful turkey breast. It’s a great way to enjoy a taste of Thanksgiving any time of the year, and it makes for fantastic leftovers, too!
This maple turkey breast pairs beautifully with classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes. A crisp green salad or some steamed green beans can add a nice freshness to the meal. If you’re feeling a bit more indulgent, homemade stuffing or a warm, crusty bread would complement the flavors perfectly. And don’t forget a dollop of cranberry sauce for that extra touch of sweetness!

Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the maple syrup mixture. If you prefer a more savory flavor, try adding a tablespoon of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce.
