Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Rub this herb mixture evenly over the entire 3 lb boneless turkey breast.
Step 2: Place the turkey breast on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, basting every 20 minutes with pan juices to keep it moist.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 3 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp orange zest. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the glaze thickens.
Step 4: Remove the turkey breast from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve sliced turkey with a generous spoonful of the warm cranberry-orange glaze.
