A beautifully glazed turkey breast with a balance of citrus and cranberry flavors, perfect for small gatherings.

  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 turkey breast (about 2-3 lbs)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 orange (zested and juiced)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, orange juice, sugar, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cranberries pop and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  3. Season the turkey breast with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. Place in a roasting pan.
  4. Pour the cranberry-orange glaze over the turkey.
  5. Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste with the glaze every 20 minutes.
  6. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.

Notes

Pat the breast dry to ensure the glaze adheres well. Adjust seasoning to taste, and watch for browning while roasting.
