FOR THE SOUTHWESTERN SPICED SALT:
1 ounce, weight Smoked Salt
1/2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
1/2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
1/2 teaspoons Cumin
1/8 teaspoons Chipotle Chile Powder
FOR THE TURKEY:
1-1/2 pound Boneless, Skinless Turkey Breast Halves
1 Tablespoon Butter, Softened
1/3 cups Honey
1/4 teaspoons Dried Chipotle Chile Powder

1
Combine ingredients for the spiced salt in a small bowl.
2
Rub spiced salt over the turkey breast halves on both sides and place in a plastic gallon-sized bag or baking dish. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
3
Preheat oven to 425 F. Fit a foiled-lined rimmed baking sheet with a rack inside.
4
Remove turkey from refrigerator. Rinse turkey and pat dry. Rub butter over the turkey breasts and place on the rack.
5
Roast turkey in the oven for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix honey and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Brush half of the honey mixture and pan juices over turkey halfway through cooking time. Remove it from the oven when juices are running clear and a thermometer registers 160 F.
6
Turn on the broiler. Brush the remaining honey glaze over the turkey and broil for just a few minutes until honey thickens and turns golden. Remove it from the oven, brushing pan juices over the bird. Rest for 10 minutes.

Note: Spiced salt can be made one week ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
