- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Preparation and Cooking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, mix together the cranberry juice, orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer the glaze over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan and brush it with the cranberry orange glaze generously.
- Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the glaze, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- After cooking, let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the turkey garnished with fresh cranberries and orange slices for an attractive presentation.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the turkey breast in the glaze for a few hours or overnight before cooking. You can also use orange marmalade as a substitute for brown sugar in the glaze. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the glaze mixture.
