Ingredients

3 pounds boneless turkey breast
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Zest of 1 orange
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pat the turkey breast dry and season with salt and pepper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, ginger, and garlic; simmer until cranberries burst and sauce thickens (10-15 minutes). Stir in orange zest.
Place the turkey in a roasting pan and brush half of the glaze on top. Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), basting every 30 minutes with reserved glaze.
Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing; garnish with chopped parsley.
