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.

SWEET AND SPICY TURKEY RUB
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix 1/4 cup butter, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place turkey breast with skin side up into a roasting pan. Loosen skin with your fingers; brush half the butter mixture over the turkey breast and underneath the skin. Reserve remaining butter mixture. Tent turkey breast loosely with aluminum foil.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour; baste turkey breast with remaining butter mixture. Return to oven and roast until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, not touching bone, reads 165 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 30 more minutes. Let turkey breast rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- While turkey is resting, transfer pan drippings to a skillet. Skim off excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in skillet. Place skillet over low heat; cook and stir shallot in turkey grease until opaque, about 5 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet with shallot and whisk in white wine, scraping any browned bits of food from skillet. Whisk in chicken stock and flour until smooth. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened. For a creamier, lighter gravy, whisk in half-and-half.

Tips:
- Choose a fresh, high-quality turkey breast. Look for one that is plump and has a moist, pink color. Avoid any turkey breasts that are bruised or have an off odor.
- Thaw the turkey breast properly. If your turkey breast is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator for 24 hours per 5 pounds. You can also thaw it in a sink filled with cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Do not thaw the turkey breast at room temperature.
- Make sure the turkey breast is completely dry before roasting. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Use a flavorful dry rub. The dry rub will help to create a crispy, flavorful crust on the turkey breast. Be sure to rub the dry rub into the turkey breast evenly.
- Roast the turkey breast at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a juicy, tender turkey breast. Roast the turkey breast at 450°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue to roast for 1-1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the turkey breast rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey breast, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Roasted turkey breast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for dinner, lunch, or even breakfast. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a roasted turkey breast that is juicy, tender, and flavorful.
