BBQ Spice Turkey Breast
2- 3 to 3 1/2 Pound fresh or frozen turkey breast halves
2 Tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 Teaspoon paprika
2 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon ground cumin
1 Teaspoon chili powder
1 Teaspoon pepper
Thaw turkey, if frozen. Preheat oven to 400*. Coat a large roasting pan and rack with cooking spray. In a small bowl stir together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, cumin, chili powder, and pepper. Set aside.
Slip your fingers between the skin and meat of turkey breasts halves to loosen skin, leaving skin partially attached at edges. Lift skin and spread brown sugar mixture evenly under skin and over meat. Place turkey breast halves, bone sides down, on rack in prepared pan. Insert an oven safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of a breast half.
Roast, uncovered, on lower rack for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350*. Roast for 1 to 1 1/2 hours more or until thermometer registers 170 degrees and turkey is no longer pink, occasionally spooning pan juices over turkey. Cover loosely with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Makes 10 to 12 servings.

Here are my favorite cooking tips that I learned; some are obvious but simultaneously genius, some are very surprising, and all are just plain helpful. Check them out!
ReplyDelete1. For perfectly cooked fish, measure fish at its thickets party and cook, using any method, 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
2. For perfectly grilled burgers, make a tiny hole, about the what your index finger could fit through, in the middle of her burgers. During grilling, the hole in the middle will disappear but the center will be cooked the same as the edges.
3. To avoid the browning of avocado flesh when exposed to air, immediately place the peeled fruit in lemon juice until ready for use.
