Ancho Rubbed Turkey Breast

Serves 6-8

Equipment Needed: 1 cutting board (1) 2 qt mixing bowl 1 roasting pan Ingredients: cup ancho chile powder 1 Tb Spanish paprika 1 Tb dried oregano 1 tsp cumin powder 2 Tb kosher salt cup orange juice 1 whole raw turkey breast, skin on

Instructions: 1. Combine all of the spices, herbs, salt and orange juice in a small mixing bowl and mix evenly. 2. Dry the turkey breast with paper towels. Apply the rub and marinate for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator. 3. Remove the turkey breast from the refrigerator and allow the turkey to rise to room temperature. This will take at least 1.5 to 2 hours. 4. Preheat an oven to 400F. 5. Cook the turkey breast for 25 minutes at 400F and then reduce the temperature to 350F. 6. Cook the turkey breast until an internal temperature of 158F is reached. This could take 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the size of the breast and the temperature in your oven. 7. Remove the turkey and allow the turkey to rest for at least 25 minutes. The turkey will continue to rise in temperature to reach 165F as it rests. Carve and enjoy!
