Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat dry 3 lbs boneless turkey breast and rub all over with 2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2: Combine 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1.5 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the turkey breast.
Step 3: Place turkey breast on a roasting rack set inside a baking pan. Roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until an internal thermometer reads 165°F.
Step 4: While turkey roasts, mix 1/2 cup cranberry sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring occasionally until glaze is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 5: Remove turkey from oven and brush generously with the cranberry glaze. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices. Serve with additional glaze on the side.
