Turkey preparation:
Crush the peppercorn seeds as finely as possible and combine with cumin, chili powder, oregano, minced garlic, lime juice and olive oil.Stir into a paste.

Mix together the peaches, preserves, peach juice, sugar and vinegar.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring often. Sauce should thicken.

Place the cooled mixture into the food processor and process until very smooth.

Cooking instructions:
Brush the turkey breast completely with the canola oil.
