17 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
18 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
19 - 1/2 teaspoon orange zest

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - Combine olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Evenly rub the mixture over the turkey breast.
03 - In a large bowl, toss butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red onion with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread in a single layer on the sheet pan, leaving space at center for turkey.
04 - Place the seasoned turkey breast skin-side up in the center of the sheet pan.
05 - Roast for 30 minutes at 400°F.
06 - While roasting, combine cranberry sauce, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
07 - Brush half of the cranberry glaze evenly over the turkey breast.
08 - Roast for an additional 20 minutes or until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
09 - Remove from oven, tent the turkey with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
10 - Slice turkey and serve alongside roasted vegetables, drizzling with remaining cranberry glaze.
