Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this glaze evenly over 3 lbs turkey breast.
Step 2: Place the turkey breast on a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 60-70 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with remaining glaze, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes until cranberries burst and sauce thickens.
Step 4: Remove turkey from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices topped with warm cranberry reduction.
