Instructions
To cook the turkey breast in a slow cooker:
- Place 1 large yellow onion in the bottom of your slow cooker. Rinse clean the 2 pound turkey breast and place on top of the onion, breast side up. Top breast meat with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top. Cover with lid and set the slow cooker to low for 4-5 hours. Continue to cook on low until internal temperature reads 165°F.
To cook turkey in the Instant Pot:
- Place onion in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add two cups water. Rinse clean the turkey breast and place on top of the onion, breast side up. Top breast meat with paprika, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Cook on high pressure for 22-30 minutes (for 2-6 pound breast) and allow to release the pressure slowly once done. Insert an instant read thermometer and if it is not yet at 165 degrees F, continue to cook for several more minutes on high pressure.
- Once turkey has finished cooking, slice against the grain to desired thickness.
To assemble sliders:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Set the 16 ounce package soft rolls in a baking dish and split the rolls with a knife and remove the tops. Cover with 6 tablespoons of desired spread, turkey, and 6-12 ounces sliced provolone. Replace the tops of the rolls.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in microwave and add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon poppy seeds. Brush mixture on top of rolls.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes until heated through.
