Ingredients
2 (3–4 lb) Turkey Breasts (bone-in, skin-on)
4 cups Fresh Cranberries
2 cups Fresh Orange Juice
1 cup Honey
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard (adds tangy balance)
1 tbsp Brown Sugar (for richness)
4 tbsp Orange Zest
4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
4 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
2 tbsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
½ tsp Ground Cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Garnish: Fresh orange slices, rosemary sprigs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat turkey breasts dry and place them in a large roasting pan.
Mix olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper into a paste. Rub generously under and over the skin of each breast.
In a saucepan, combine cranberries, orange juice, honey, Dijon, brown sugar, garlic, orange zest, and cinnamon. Simmer for 15 minutes, until thick and jammy.
Spoon half the glaze over the turkey breasts.
Roast uncovered for 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, basting every 30 minutes with pan juices and glaze.
Internal temp should read 165°F (74°C). Remove and let rest for 15 minutes.
Slice and drizzle with remaining warm glaze, garnish with orange slices and rosemary.
