A delightful dish that combines sweet and tangy flavors with a vibrant cranberry-orange glaze, perfect for holiday meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 turkey breast (about 1.5 to 2 lbs, boneless, skin-on)
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the turkey breast dry and season with salt and black pepper.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and sear the turkey breast skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the turkey and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic, then add cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, and rosemary. Cook until cranberries burst and mixture thickens.
- Return the turkey to the skillet, spoon glaze over it, and transfer to the oven.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting halfway through.
