Ancho-Rubbed Turkey Breast with Vegetables
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped oregano, plus 6 oregano sprigs
- One 3 3/4-pound, skin-on, boneless whole turkey breast, patted dry
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 3 large baking potatoes, cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges
- 3 poblano chiles, halved lengthwise
- 3 medium red onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges through the core
- In a small bowl, whisk the chile powder with the coriander, onion powder, sugar and chopped oregano.
- Set the turkey breast skin side down on a work surface.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper, then rub with half of the spice mixture.
- Fold in the sides and tie up the turkey breast with twine to make a neat roast.
- Season the outside of the turkey breast with salt and pepper, then rub with the remaining spice mix.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes, poblanos, onions and oregano sprigs with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
- Set the turkey breast skin side up on the vegetables.
- Roast for about 1 hour, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the turkey registers 155; tent with foil if it browns too quickly.
- Transfer the turkey breast to a carving board and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Untie the roast and thinly slice crosswise.
- Serve with the roasted vegetables.
