Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3-4 lb turkey breast, bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, orange juice, honey, and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Let it cool.
  • Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Loosen the skin of the turkey breast and rub half the herb mixture under the skin. Spread the remaining mixture over the skin and inside the cavity.
  • Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan, skin side up.
  • Roast for 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
  • In the last 30 minutes of roasting, brush the turkey breast with the cranberry orange glaze every 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, let it rest for 15-20 minutes, then carve and serve.
