Ingredients
- 1 boneless turkey breast (about 3-4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
For the Cranberry Relish
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 orange, zest and juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the turkey breast with olive oil and season it evenly with the spice mixture. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and cook for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
