Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Turkey breast roast
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Ground allspice
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Jalapeño, minced
- 2 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the turkey breast roast dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the turkey, then coat it evenly with the spice mixture.
Place the seasoned turkey breast on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached when measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the meat.
While the turkey is roasting, prepare the jazzy pineapple salsa. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and honey. Stir to mix well and set aside in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld.
Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve the turkey slices with a generous scoop of pineapple salsa on the side. Enjoy the tropical Jamaican flavors in every bite!
