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.

After 10 minutes, increase heat and cook until the cranberries burst. Add remaining cranberries and cook for further 2-3 minutes.

Once turkey has cooked for an hour, remove from oven and pour cranberry sauce on or around the turkey breasts. Place back in the oven for 30 minutes
