Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Rub 3 lbs boneless turkey breast with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 3 minced garlic cloves evenly all over.
  2. Step 2: Place the turkey breast on a roasting rack in a shallow pan and roast for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, basting occasionally with pan juices.
  3. Step 3: While turkey roasts, combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1 tsp orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes until cranberries burst and mixture thickens into a relish.
  4. Step 4: Remove turkey from oven, tent with foil, and rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve slices topped with warm cranberry-pecan relish.
