Rinse turkey breast with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim excess fat.

Combine the apricot preserves, cumin, mustard, sage, thyme, and salt, forming a sticky paste. Rub the paste under and over the skin. Place turkey in a roasting pan or shallow baking dish coated with vegetable oil spray.
