7 pounds (3.2kg) turkey breast, uncooked, thawed
3 Tbsp (65g) apricot preserves

Rinse turkey breast with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim excess fat. Starting at the neck cavity, loosen skin from the breast by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Combine the apricot preserves, cumin, mustard, sage, thyme, and salt, forming a sticky paste. Rub the paste under and over the skin. Place turkey in a roasting pan or shallow baking dish coated with vegetable oil spray.
