    1 (6 lb) whole turkey breast, on the bone
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    Dry Rub
    2 teaspoons onion salt
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    Gravy
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Coat large roasting pan with nonstick vegetable-oil cooking spray.
    Rub turkey on all sides and under skin with olive oil and lime juice.
    Dry Rub: Mix onion salt, chili powder, dried oregano, cumin, garlic powder, allspice and cayenne in small bowl.
    Rub 1 1/2 tablespoons mixture over turkey and under skin.
    Roast turkey in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on instant-read thermometer.
    Remove turkey to a warm place; let stand 10 minutes.
    Gravy: Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from roasting pan.
    Sprinkle flour and 1/2 teaspoon of remaining dry rub over bottom of roasting pan; cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, for about 1 minute.
    Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
    Strain gravy through sieve into gravy boat; keep warm.
    Cut off each 1/2 of the turkey breast from the bone.
    Wrap one 1/2 and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 4 months, for later use.
    Slice other 1/2 of turkey breast and serve with the gravy, and mashed potatoes, if desired.
