There’s something about the fall that makes me crave the comforting flavors of maple and turkey. This slow cooker Amish maple turkey breast is perfect for those busy weekdays when you want to come home to a warm, delicious meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Inspired by the simple, hearty meals of the Amish, this dish combines the sweetness of maple syrup with savory herbs, creating a tender and flavorful turkey breast. It’s a great way to enjoy a taste of Thanksgiving any time of the year, and it makes for fantastic leftovers, too!
This maple turkey breast pairs beautifully with classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes. A crisp green salad or some steamed green beans can add a nice freshness to the meal. If you’re feeling a bit more indulgent, homemade stuffing or a warm, crusty bread would complement the flavors perfectly. And don’t forget a dollop of cranberry sauce for that extra touch of sweetness!

1. Have you ever seen a Steak With Grill Marks? And Here’s the reason you don’t want to have Steak With Grill Marks! For years, cross-hatch grill marks have long been considered a signal of a perfect steak…until now. My first day in the kitchen at a steakhouse, my boss showed me how to make perfect grill marks: place the steak on the hot side of the grill, flip it 90-degrees after a few minutes, turn it over and repeat the process.

2. (He also let me in on a few more restaurant secrets!) In most establishments, getting those perfect, diamond-patterned sear marks is considered a sign of a well-grilled steak, and many home cooks wear the ability to create them like a badge. Recently, a lot of chefs are eschewing grill marks in lieu of something better. What could be better than a perfect-looking steak? One that’s covered in a golden-brown crust over the entire surface.
