Unpack the turkey breast and place it in your slow cooker or a large oven-safe dish. Once that’s done, gather your remaining ingredients.

Rub the onion soup mix evenly over the turkey. Next, sprinkle the smoked paprika and dried thyme. Ensure every inch of the turkey is seasoned well. Now, let’s add some butter! Cut the butter into small chunks and place it evenly around the turkey.

Pour the beer over the turkey. The fizz will help infuse flavor and moisture as it cooks. This is the moment when your kitchen begins to smell amazing!

Slow Cooker: Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Oven: If you prefer the oven, preheat it to 325°F. Cover your oven-safe dish with aluminum foil and cook for 3-4 hours. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t dry out.

Once your turkey is cooked, remove it carefully from the cooker or oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before using two forks to shred the meat. It should fall apart easily.

Taste your shredded turkey and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve it right away, or let it cool before transferring it to an airtight container if you plan to store it for later.
