Ingredients
For this recipe, you'll need: one 4-pound bone-in turkey breast, 1/4 cup of table salt, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Instructions
First, wash the turkey breast with cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Then, combine the salt, sugar, and pepper in a small bowl, and set aside. Next, take the turkey breast and put it in a large bowl. Rub the salt mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure you cover the entire surface.
