Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Season the turkey breasts with thyme, rosemary, salt and black pepper.

Put the turkey in a roasting pan/ tray in the oven and cook for 1 hour

Meanwhile, add ½ cup of cranberries, orange or lemon zest, maple syrup and 2 tbsp of water to a saucepan and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, and stir.
