Instructions
Remove the turkey breast from the packaging and discard any sauces or gravies that are included.
3 lb. boneless turkey breast
Place the turkey into the crock of a large slow cooker, slather the turkey with the butter and seasonings. Next, pour the chicken broth into the bottom.
4 tablespoons salt butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon parsley, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 cup chicken broth
Cook on low for 4 hours. The turkey breast should reach 170°F. Remove the turkey and broil for 2 minutes to brown if preferred. Otherwise, rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
While the turkey breast is resting, make the gravy. Strain the juices in the bottom of the crock pot in a mesh strainer. Add some of the fatty layer to a skillet, about 2 tablespoons and mix with the 2 teaspoons of flour on medium heat to create a roux. Slowly add more of the juices until the flour is fully incorporated. Bring to a low simmer and then carefully add the remaining broth, bring to a simmer again and then remove from the heat and pour into a gravy boat. Alternatively, to make gluten free, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the juice instead of flour. You'll still need to heat on the stove or in the crockpot.
2 teaspoons flour
After resting remove the netting mesh from the turkey and slice the turkey. Serve as desired.

Notes
Use more flour for the gravy if needed. You can also do 2-3 tablespoons to 2-3 tablespoons of butter to make a proper roux.
