- To make the brine, mix the water, salt and sweetener of your choice in a bowl large enough to hold the meat. Place the tied turkey breast in the brine for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat oven to 425°F.
- Remove turkey breast from the brine. Pat it dry. Coat with a thick layer of spice rub. Place in a roasting tin.
- Roast the breast for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 300°F and continue roasting for at least one more hour, until the juices from the turkey run clear when you poke it. The interior temperature of the roast should be 160°F . Slice while warm.
