How to Make Barbecue Spice Rubbed Turkey Breast Better Homes And Gardens
- Thaw turkey completely if frozen.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly coat a large shallow roasting pan and rack with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine: 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place turkey breast halves, bone-side down, on the roasting rack in the prepared pan.
- Carefully loosen the skin from the turkey breast, starting at the breastbone and working your way out, leaving the skin attached at the top.
- Evenly spread the spice mixture under the loosened skin, covering the breast meat completely.
- Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast, ensuring it doesn't touch the bone.
- Roast uncovered on the lower rack of the oven for 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Continue roasting for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the thermometer registers 170°F (77°C), the juices run clear, and the turkey is no longer pink. Baste the turkey with pan juices occasionally.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, loosely tent the turkey breast with foil to prevent burning.
- Remove turkey from oven and let stand, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Place the sliced turkey breast on a platter and serve immediately with Cranberry Barbecue Sauce.
