Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create an herb paste.
Step 2: Rub the herb paste all over the 2-pound boneless turkey breast, ensuring an even coating. Place the turkey breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the herb crust is golden.
Step 4: While the turkey bakes, combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens into a relish.
Step 5: Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes after baking, then slice and serve with the warm cranberry orange relish for a bright holiday flavor.
