Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat dry the 3 lbs boneless turkey breast and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/8 tsp ground cloves, and 2 minced garlic cloves until combined.
Step 3: Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan and brush generously with half of the maple glaze. Tuck 4 fresh thyme sprigs around the turkey.
Step 4: Roast the turkey for 50 minutes, basting with the remaining maple glaze every 15 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached and the glaze is caramelized.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
