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