Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat turkey breast dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, maple syrup, thyme, orange zest, and olive oil until smooth.
Step 2: Place turkey breast in a roasting pan and brush generously with the honey-maple glaze. Roast for 20 minutes, then baste with pan juices and continue roasting for 30-35 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 3: Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional glaze drizzled over the meat.
