  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  1. Step 1: Cut the baby creamer potatoes in half and place them evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture all over the turkey tenderloin.
  3. Step 3: Lay the seasoned turkey tenderloin on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker. Cut the butter into small pats and place them on top of the turkey.
  4. Step 4: Cover and cook on high for 2.5 to 3.5 hours, or on low for 3.5 to 4 hours, until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F. Cooking times may vary depending on your crockpot and the thickness of the turkey tenderloin.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of chicken broth or white wine to the slow cooker before cooking.
  • Mix in some chopped fresh rosemary or sage with the spices for a different herbal note.
  • If you prefer crispier potatoes, transfer them to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes after slow cooking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Avoid overcooking to keep the turkey tender and the potatoes from drying out.
