- Turkey (I used 2 wings and 2 thighs)
- Thyme
- Olive oil
- Cranberry juice concentrate
- Orange juice concentrate
- Chicken broth (optional)
- Orange Marmalade
- Seasoning cube
- Ground black pepper
- Onion powder
- Butter
- Rosemary
- Salt
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Clean up the turkey and use paper towels to pat dry (very dry) the turkey.
-
In a small bowl, mix the seasoning cube, salt, thyme, onion powder, ground black pepper, and oil.
-
Rub the mixture over the turkey, gently lift the skin off (don't rip it off) and rub the mixture inside and out.
-
Place the turkey on a baking sheet and roast for about 90 minutes(the size of the turkey will determine the roasted time, but for the size I used, I roasted it for the stated time).
-
Remove the turkey from the oven
-
Brush the cranberry orange glaze (recipe below) over the turkey. I slashed the turkey a little bit before brushing the glaze, this step is optional you can brush the glaze without slashing the turkey.
-
My turkey had some dripping so I didn't use any chicken broth. If your turkey doesn't have any dripping, pour a 1/2-1 cup of chicken broth in the baking sheet so the glaze doesn't burn.
-
Cover the turkey and return to the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the thermometer reads 170 degrees F.
-
Remove the cover and turn the oven off. Leave the turkey to rest, transfer the turkey to a plate and brush the remaining glaze and leave for about 10 minutes.
-
Drizzle the remaining glaze over the turkey.
Cranberry orange glaze is ready. Enjoy.

Stir occasionally and let the mixture reduces (thickens)
-
Add butter, salt, and pepper.
