Turkey for Two with Apple-Cranberry Compote

If you love juicy and flavorful roasted turkey with a warm fruit compote dribbled on top, this
has got to be one of the easiest and most delicious paleo turkey meals ever!

Ingredients

Turkey Breast
• About 2.5 lbs., bone-in. Rinse and pat dry.
Turkey Seasoning Mix
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp sage
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 garlic powder
Apple-Cranberry Compote
• 2 apples – peeled, cored and cut into chunks (I used Gala)
• 1 cup fresh cranberries (frozen OK too - thaw first)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 cup raw honey
• 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/2 tsp zest from orange peel

Instructions

Roast The Turkey
1. Place turkey on a small wire rack inside a shallow baking tray. Line tray with foil or parchment for easier cleanup
2. Brush turkey with olive oil or softened ghee.
3. Combine turkey seasoning ingredients above and sprinkle over turkey on all sides
4. Cook turkey breast uncovered at 325ºF until golden brown and internal temperature reads 165ºF. Cooking times vary – a 2.5 lbs turkey beast should take around 1-1/2 to 2 hours. (If necessary, tent with aluminum foil to prevent scorching)
5. Remove from oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil. (Internal temperature should rise to 170ºF in 5 minutes or so.)
Make the Apple-Cranberry Compote While The Turkey Roasts
6. Combine all the compote ingredients together in a medium sauce pan
7. When mixture boils, reduce heat to simmer.
8. Simmer about 20 - 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Compote is ready when the apples are tender, cranberries pop open, and mixture starts to thicken.
9. Remove from heat, allow to cool a little, and serve warm over sliced turkey
