Time 2h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon pumpkin seed oil
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 (5 lb) turkey breast
1/4 cup chicken broth, reduced sodium, if needed

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven racks to divide the oven into thirds.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a large roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Mix the chili powder and cumin in a small bowl; stir in the oil and lime juice until the mixture forms a thick paste.
  • Loosen the skin around the turkey breast by running your fingers between the skin and the meat, starting at the tips of the breast halves.
  • Once the skin is loosened, divide the spice mixture between the 2 halves and spread it liberally onto the meat, patting the skin back into place.
  • Place the turkey breast into the roasting pan.
  • bake in the lower third of the oven, basting with pan juices every 20 minutes, until an instant read thermometer inserted in the breast registers 170 degrees F., about 2 hours.
  • If the pan juicesdry out before the turkey is cooked through, add the broth to baste the bird occasionally.
  • Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before carving.
  • Remove the skin before eating.
