Coffee Rubbed Roast Turkey Breast
Ingredients
- 1 Each Boneless Turkey Breast About 3 to 4 Lb
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Ground Coffee, Grind fine in a coffee grinder
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Ground Cumin
- 2 Tbsp Ground Mustard Powder
- 1 Tbsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tbsp garlic Powder
- 2 Tbsp Ground Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground Cayenne Pepper
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Cup Olive Oil
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together to make a rub.
- Rub the spice mix evenly all over the turkey breast. Set it up in a roasting pan with a rack to allow juices to drain. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. This gives time for the rub flavors to penetrate the meat. Take out of refrigeration 30 minutes before you plan to cook it.
- preheat Oven to 450
- Roast the Turkey breast 30 minutes at the high temperature. Then turn the temp down to 325. Finish Roasting until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. This will vary depending on the weight and thickness of the breast. On average, it should be about 20 minutes per pound. So, check it after about and hour and give more time if necessary. Also, if the skin begins to get darker than you like, baste with some of the juices dripping to the bottom of the pan or cover with parchment paper and foil If you cover directly with foil, the foil may stick to the meat and become black and pitted. Not pleasant.
- When it reaches 165, remove from the oven and let it rest 10 to 15 minutes before cutting. You can use the drippings to make a gravy by adding to a pot with more turkey or chicken broth, some seasoning and thicken with either a roux or cornstarch slurry.
