Turkey Breast with Cranberry Compote

Cranberry Compote:

½ cup orange juice

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tsp finely grated orange zest

1 ½ cups fresh cranberries

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Turkey Breast:

1 (4½- to 5-lb.) fresh bone-in turkey breast

2 tbsp I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter – sticks, melted

For the compote, in a saucepan bring ½ cup water, orange juice, sugar and orange zest to boil. Stir in cranberries and cinnamon; return to boil. Reduce heat and cook 12 to 15 minutes or until berries burst.

Transfer compote to a bowl; let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, for the turkey breast, preheat oven to 350°F. Place turkey breast in a roasting pan. Brush turkey with butter and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Roast 1 hour, 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F.

Remove from oven. Loosely cover with foil and let stand 10 minutes. Remove skin from turkey and cut turkey into thin slices. Serve turkey with Cranberry Compote.
