Pat the turkey breast completely dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the surface, including under the skin where accessible. Apply the dry rub evenly over the entire breast, pressing it firmly into the skin and under the skin where possible. Place the turkey breast on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, uncovered, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
