INGREDIENTS:
1  whole turkey breast on the bone (6 to 7 pounds) 
2  tbsp olive oil 
2  tbsp fresh lime juice 
 
INGREDIENTS for Dry Rub:
2  tsp onion salt 
2  tsp chili powder 
1  tsp dried oregano 
1  tsp ground cumin 
½  tsp garlic powder 
¼  tsp ground allspice 
¼  tsp cayenne pepper 

INGREDIENTS for Gravy:
2  tbsp all-purpose flour 
1  can (14.5 ounces) chicken broth 

DIRECTIONS:
1.  Preheat oven to 350ºF 
2.  Coat large roasting pan with nonstick vegetable-oil cooking spray. Rub turkey on all
  sides with olive oil and lime juice. 
  Dry Rub: 
3.  Mix onion salt, chili powder, dried oregano, cumin, garlic powder, allspice and cayenne
  in a small bowl. Rub 1½ tbsp mixture over turkey. 
4.  Roast turkey in the oven for 1½ to 2½ hours or until the internal temperature 
  registers 165ºF on instant-read thermometer. Remove turkey to a warm place; let 
  stand 10 minutes. 
  Gravy: 
5.  Pour off all but 2 tbsp drippings from roasting pan. Sprinkle flour and ½ tsp of 
  remaining dry rub over bottom of roasting pan; cook over medium-high heat, 
  scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan, about 1 minute. 
6.  Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth; cook, stirring occasionally, until 
  thickened, about 2 minutes. Strain gravy through sieve into gravy boat; keep warm.
7.  Cut off each ½ of the turkey breast from the bone. Wrap one ½ and refrigerate for up 
  to 3 days or freeze for up to 4 months, for later use. 
8.  Slice other ½ of turkey breast and serve with the gravy, and mashed potatoes, if 
  desired.
