Hello: I cooked a 4 lb Turkey breast in my slow cooker for about 7 hours, but it seemed overcooked and flaky. Should I have added more liquid or just cut back on the cooking time?
In general, a turkey breast should be roasted for around 30 minutes per pound at 325. This would be 2 hours for a 4 pound bird. If your slow cooker was set below 325 it would take longer – but probably not seven hours. Your turkey is likely dry because it was cooked for too long. If you send me some more specifics, such as the temperature you used and the weight of the bird, I can offer you some more specific direction for next time.
