Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoons dried, crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
6 teaspoons olive oil
2 boneless turkey breast halves (about 2 pounds each), skin removed
2 sweet potatoes (about 8 ounces each), halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, lime juice, and 4 teaspoons oil; rub all over turkey. Leaving space between them, place both halves in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with remaining 2 teaspoons oil; place, cut side down, on sheet with turkey. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of each breast half registers 160 degrees, about 50 minutes (potatoes should be tender). Let stand 10 minutes, loosely tented with aluminum foil to keep warm (temperature will rise by 5 degrees).
  • Cut one breast half into thick slices (reserve remaining turkey; see step 4). Cut potato halves into wedges. Transfer turkey slices and potatoes to a serving platter, drizzling turkey with any juices from baking sheet. (Optional: Serve with Sauteed Escarole.)
  • Cool remaining turkey completely. Divide leftovers evenly between 2 airtight containers, or wrap in plastic, and refrigerate.

SWEET AND SPICY TURKEY RUB



Sweet and Spicy Turkey Rub image

This dry rub recipe is an adaptation of a cajun rub recipe I came across. It reduces the salt and replaces it with brown sugar and a couple more savory spices. It is good for a 12- to 16-pound turkey and should also work well with chicken and pork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey breast. Look for a boneless, skinless turkey breast that weighs between 5 and 7 pounds.
  • Make sure the turkey breast is completely thawed before cooking. If the turkey breast is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator for 24 hours or overnight.
  • Pat the turkey breast dry before rubbing it with spices. This will help the spices adhere to the turkey breast.
  • Use a generous amount of spices. Don't be afraid to use a lot of spices, as this is what will give the turkey breast its flavor.
  • Let the turkey breast rest before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the turkey breast, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for turkey breast include mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, and cranberry sauce.

Conclusion:

Spice-rubbed turkey breast is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for any occasion.
