I thought this turned out pretty well! Only complaint being, the wonderful spiced crust tended to fall off the bird. Not sure what i could have done differently to avoid that, but all in all, it was pretty good. Especially with my Garlic Mustard Sauce.
Spice Rubbed Turkey
(I got this recipe from Giada De Laurentiis and have altered it slightly)
1 (4 1/2-5 lb) turkey breast, rinsed, patted dry with paper towel*
1/4 cup whole grain mustard (Maille worked well, and is recommended in the original recipe)
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp cumin
1 T oregano
1 tsp allspice
2 tsp chili powder
1 T brown sugar
1 tsp evoo
3 medium yellow onions
3 medium carrots
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
salt and freshly ground pepper
Mix together mustard, garlic, cumin,oregano, allspice, chili powder, brown sugar, and oil in small bowl. Place turkey breast in 9x13 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 loosely with foil and continue to bake another 45 minutes. Allow to rest 20 minutes.
Remove vegetables from roasting pan and place on serving platter. Optional: top with 1/3 cup Garlic Mustard Sauce
*note: this is for a smaller bird, if doing a large bird it will need to be multiplied, and cooking time adjusted.
