Creating the Perfect Cranberry Orange Glazed Turkey Breast for the Holidays is straightforward when you follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a nice caramelization during cooking.
3. Make the Glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest.
4. Sear the Turkey: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the turkey breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
5. Glaze the Turkey: Brush a generous amount of the cranberry-orange glaze over the turkey breast, ensuring it is well-coated.
6. Roast the Turkey: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Baste the turkey with the remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the turkey breast has reached 165°F (75°C). If not, continue cooking and checking every 5 minutes.
8. Rest the Turkey: Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat moist.
9. Slice and Serve: Slice the turkey breast against the grain and serve with the remaining cranberry glaze drizzled over the top.

Following these simple steps will ensure you create an impressive display that tastes as amazing as it looks.
