Cranberry Orange Glazed Turkey Breast: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 turkey breast (about 3-4 pounds)
– 1 cup cranberry sauce (preferably homemade or store-bought)
– 1/2 cup orange juice
– 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh rosemary or thyme (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Making Cranberry Orange Glazed Turkey Breast involves a few key steps. Follow this simple guide to prepare it flawlessly:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine cranberry sauce, orange juice, orange zest, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
3. Prepare the Turkey: Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
4. Marinate the Turkey: Place the turkey breast in a large zip-lock bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the turkey, reserving the other half. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour (or overnight for maximum flavor).
5. Roast the Turkey: Remove the turkey from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Brush with the reserved marinade.
6. Bake: Roast the turkey breast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey with the pan juices halfway through cooking for added moisture.
7. Rest the Turkey: Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
8. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the turkey breast into thin pieces and serve it drizzled with the remaining glaze from the roasting pan.

Following these simple steps will lead you to a delicious and visually stunning Cranberry Orange Glazed Turkey Breast that is sure to impress.
