Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth.
Step 2: Pat dry the 3-pound turkey breast and season it evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place turkey breast in a roasting pan and brush all over with the maple glaze.
Step 3: Roast turkey breast uncovered for 50-60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with remaining glaze, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and skin is golden.
Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until cranberries burst and mixture thickens to a relish.
Step 5: Let turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices topped with warm cranberry relish.
