Time: 3+ hours cook time, plus 12-48 hours brine time
Ingredients:
1 3# bone-in turkey breast
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp spicy deli mustard
2 Tbsp of barbecue spice mix, below
Why dry brine? Dry brine works much like a wet-brine, helping the meat retain moisture throughout the cooking process. Without adding extra liquid, the salt in the spice mix helps the cells within the meat draw up its moisture, and draws the spices into the meat as well.
