- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup onions, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove the skin from the turkey breast. Place in a roasting pan or 13×9 inch baking pan, breast side up.
- In a medium bowl mix together the cranberry sauce, dry soup mix, orange juice, and onions. Pour sauce all over turkey breast.

Shopping Tips
Most supermarkets sell bone-in turkey breast. They vary a little in weight but you should be able to found one about 4 pounds. If not, ask the store butcher for help. Trader Joe’s sells the most delicious containers of fresh cranberry sauce. They only sell it in Oct-December. I like to buy several containers and store them in the freezer. They’ll last for over 6 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator.
