Turkey Roast with Cranberry Orange Glaze
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 boneless turkey roast see note below
- 1 Tb extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 c chicken broth
For the Glaze
- 14 oz jellied cranberry sauce store bought or homemade
- 1 c orange juice
- ½ c brown sugar for paleo, omit
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 350°(F).
- Place your turkey roast in a roasting pan. This can be with or without a rack, your preference is fine. I have done this both ways.
- Spread the oil all over the turkey.
- Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper.
- Begin baking the roast for 30 minutes.
- After it has baked for 30 minutes, pour the chicken broth into the pan.
- Meanwhile combine the cranberry sauce, orange juice, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer until the cranberry sauce is melted, stirring occasionally.
- Divide the glaze in half. One half will be used for brushing the roast, the other half will be used as a sauce when serving.
- Keep the "brushing" glaze warm while the roast continues to bake. The other can simply be reheated when it is time to serve the roast.
- After the first 30 minutes of baking, brush the top of the roast with the glaze that you have made. Continue to bake. Do this every 15 minutes, until a thermometer reads 160 degrees in the center. The total time will vary depending upon the size of your roast, so the time given for this recipe is an estimate. Trust your thermometer.
- Allow the roast to rest 10-15 minutes, then slice across with a sharp knife or electric carving knife (my preferred method.)
- Serve with the reserved glaze drizzled over the top.
- Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe can also be made with regular turkey breasts. If boneless/skinless, brush them with a little olive oil before sprinkling with salt and pepper. Baking time will be less, but trust your meat thermometer for doneness.
