Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and stir in the dry spice mix. Let cool. In a nonreactive container, pour the cooled brine over the turkey breast until it completely covers the meat. Cover and refrigerate for 48 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 120°C. Remove turkey from brine and rinse with cold water. Dry thoroughly with paper towels.

    Using your palms, press 2/3 of the rub mixture onto the skin-side of the breast. Press the remaining mixture onto the other side.

    Place the meat skin-side down on the grill and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes. Let it cool and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Leaving the meat in this manner for 1 week will only improve the flavor.
