  2. Mix until it forms a thick paste.
  3. Place clean turkey breast on your work surface, and with a knife, poke approximately 20 holes into the turkey breast, puncturing approximately 3/4 of the way through the meat.
  4. Pack these holes with your season paste very well.
  5. If you have paste remaining, rub the rest of it all over the turkey breast.
  6. Wrap turkey breast tightly with plastic wrap, making sure that you've wrapped it completely, and refrigerate overnight.
  7. When you are ready to cook your turkey breast, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  8. Place your turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan.
  9. Cover tightly with foil and roast in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes, basting several times with pan juices.
  10. Remove the foil after 50 minutes, and roast uncovered for 30 minutes, basting several times.
  11. After 30 minutes, set your oven to broil, and move your roast to the lowest oven rack.
  12. Broil turkey breast for approximately 5 to 10 minutes until it is golden brown.
  13. Check your turkey by inserting a thermometer in the center of the turkey.
  14. It should register 170 degrees.
  15. Transfer your roast to a cutting board, and tent it with foil, allowing it to sit for 15 minutes.
