Ingredients
  • 1 6- to 8-pound turkey breast, (I like the Hotel Style)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • For the bourbon sauce:
  • 32-ounce bottle barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, drained (we needed just 1 pepper for this amount)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme

Directions
  1. **The Turkey must be roasted it in the oven, not in a slow cooker.**
  2. Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
  3. Sprinkle the turkey breast with salt and pepper; rub it in well. Place it on a rack in a roasting pan.
  4. In a saucepan, mix together all the ingredients for the bourbon sauce, and bring it to a simmer.
  5. Ladle enough of the sauce over the turkey breast to cover it well, put in preheated oven and roast for about 2 hours, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  6. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan to prevent the excess marinade from burning, if necessary.
  7. Baste with the sauce during the last 30 minutes or so of roasting, if desired.
  8. Let rest about 10 minutes before slicing.
