Ingredients

For the Turkey

3 lbs boneless turkey breast
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp butter

For the Glaze

1/3 cup honey
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
In a small dish combine all the spices for the turkey.
Rub the seasoning mix all over the turkey.
Next wrap the turkey in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the turkey in a baking dish.
Next, melt the butter and brush it all over the turkey.
Place the turkey in the oven for 30 minutes.
While the turkey is roasting, make the glaze. In a saucepan over medium-high heat combine the honey, butter, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to bubble then bring it to a simmer for 3 minutes.
After the turkey has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and brush ⅓ of the glaze over the turkey.
Bake for another 30 minutes and then remove from the oven and brush another ⅓ of the glaze over the turkey.
Bake in the oven for another 15 minutes or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit then remove from the oven.
Spread the remaining glaze over the turkey.
Allow the turkey to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Then, serve and enjoy!
