Kitchen backsplash on torn drywall
I removed old tile and a layer of drywall came off with it, What I am left with now is shown in attached picture. What can i do to salvage and prep this wall for new tile? I am not sure if mortar or musselbound adhesive tile mat will adhere to this brown layer.

If you are putting tile back up it is not a big deal. Just repair the big holes with drywall patches and fill in the holes with drywall compound. Wall should be flat but not perfectly smooth for the new tile. Any thinset or mastic will stick fine to the drywall. I use thinset over mastic.
