Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 kg Turkey breast boneless or bone-in
- 250 g Cranberries fresh or frozen
- 100 ml Orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1 zested Orange for zest
- 50 g Sugar or sweetener to taste
- 1 g Salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes until reduced to a glaze.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Place turkey on a rack in a lightly oiled roasting pan, brush with glaze, and bake until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Glaze every 15–20 minutes during baking for a richer finish.
- If using an air fryer, preheat to 175°C (350°F), place turkey in the basket, and cook for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, brushing with more glaze in the last 5–7 minutes.
- Let the meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Tip: Do not glaze too early as it can lead to a burnt glaze. Always monitor the internal temperature for perfect results.
