Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Rub 3 pounds of boneless turkey breast evenly with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves. Place the turkey breast on a roasting rack in a shallow pan.
  2. Step 2: Roast the turkey breast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally with pan juices to keep it moist.
  3. Step 3: While the turkey cooks, combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens into a glaze.
  4. Step 4: Remove the turkey from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes, then slice and brush generously with the warm spiced cranberry glaze before serving.
