Cooking turkey tenderloin in the air fryer is fast and convenient. However, my crockpot turkey tenderloin recipe is a hands-off way to make juicy, tender, and equally delicious meat for the big day. This method also frees up some oven space and allows you to do other things as the turkey cooks. In this post, I’ll share how to make slow cooker turkey tenderloin and turkey tenderloin marinade.

Why Make This?

  • Tender and juicy results: Slow-cooked turkey is tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
  • Free oven space: There’s always a need for some extra oven space during holidays, and this recipe helps you have that.
  • Mostly dump and go: When you have a lot to do, the last thing you need is a complicated recipe. Crockpot turkey tenderloin requires minimal attention when cooking.

Ingredients Needed

Crockpot Turkey Tenderloin

  • Turkey breast tenderloins: I buy these packaged with two thawed out turkey tenderloins.
  • Herb Seasoning
  • Onion powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Xanthan gum: This is optional and a way to thicken the juices that remain the the Crockpot to make gravy. You can also use any of these substitutes for Xanthan Gum for similar results.

Turkey Tenderloin Marinade 

  • Garlic: I’m using fresh minced garlic
  • Herb Seasoning
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Sea salt
  • Sweetener: I use an all-natural sugar substitute, but any sweetener that you prefer works well.

How To Make Crockpot Turkey Tenderloin 

  1. Add the ingredients for the marinade to a bowl and whisk to incorporate (If you have time, marinate the turkey for 24 hours). Otherwise, head right to the slow cooker.
  2. Mix the spices for the meat (herb seasoning, onion powder, smoked paprika) in a small bowl.
  3. Add the turkey tenderloin and all the marinade contents to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the tops of the turkey tenderloin with the spices. Slow cook on low for 3-3.5 hours (or until the center of the meat is at 165 degrees).
  4. Optional for the gravy: Whisk in a dash of Xanthan gum, turn the slow cooker to high, and cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes until the gravy starts to thicken.

Recipe Tips & FAQs

  • You can skip the long marination hours: Marinating the turkey at least overnight will intensify flavor and moisture. However, if you don’t have the time, get straight to the cooking, and the results will still be amazing.
  • Mix the meat spices in a small bowl: Mixing the spices in a bowl helps with even spice mix application and distribution of flavors.
  • You can use Xanthan gum or its substitutes: If you don’t have or don’t want to use Xanthan gum for the gravy, go for any available substitutes. I serve the gravy more like a turkey glaze by brushing it on the meat. You can also serve it up on the side.
How long do you cook turkey tenderloin in a crockpot?

My crockpot turkey tenderloin takes 3-3.5 hours to cook. Most importantly, ensure the center of the meat is at 165 degrees.

Turkey tenderloin is a boneless and skinless part of a turkey breast. The breast has bones and skin.
