Jerk Turkey Breast

Start by preparing a flavorful brine with kosher salt, brown sugar, chicken stock, spices, herbs, and iced water. Submerge a thawed turkey breast in the brine overnight. Discard the brine and marinate the turkey with jerk seasoning, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Roast the turkey at a high temperature initially, then lower the heat, covering it with foil to retain moisture. Cook until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
