Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, garlic, cumin, oregano, allspice, chili powder, brown sugar and oil. Place the turkey breast in a 9 by13-inch roasting pan. Spread the mustard mixture over the top and sides of the turkey to form a crust. Add the onions, carrots, and chicken stock to the pan. Roast for 45 minutes. Cover the pan loosely with foil and continue to bake for another 45 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 175 degrees F. Allow the turkey to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
- Remove the vegetables and arrange on a serving platter. Remove the turkey and place on a cutting board. Pour about 1/2 cup of the pan juices into a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Whisk in the remaining pan juices. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Season the pan juices with salt and pepper and pour into a serving pitcher.
- To serve, slice the turkey into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the turkey slices on the serving platter with the roasted vegetables and serve with the pan juices.

SPICED & GRILLED TURKEY
My fiance loves to grill, so for the holidays we decided to grill our turkey instead of deep frying it. It was the best we'd ever tasted! Having the brine in the pan under the turkey catches the drippings, but also keeps everything nice and moist. Start with the breast down, then flip to the other side. -Sydney Botelho, Columbia, South Carolina

Tips:
- Brine the turkey breast: Brining helps to keep the turkey moist and flavorful. To brine the turkey breast, dissolve 1/2 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of cold water. Submerge the turkey breast in the brine solution for 12-24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade not only adds flavor to the turkey breast, but it also helps to tenderize it. This recipe uses a marinade made with chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, olive oil, garlic, and spices.
- Grill the turkey breast over indirect heat: Indirect heat helps to cook the turkey breast evenly without drying it out. To grill the turkey breast over indirect heat, set up your grill for two-zone cooking. Place the turkey breast on the side of the grill that is not directly over the heat.
- Baste the turkey breast frequently: Basting the turkey breast with the marinade or melted butter helps to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the turkey breast every 20-30 minutes during grilling.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: The turkey breast is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast to check the temperature.
Conclusion:
Chipotle-spiced grilled turkey breast is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade infuses the turkey breast with a smoky, spicy flavor, and the grilling process creates a crispy, juicy exterior. Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
