  • Dijon mustard (1 tbsp)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Cinnamon (1/2 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the turkey breast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Transfer the turkey to a roasting pan and pour 1 cup of apple cider around it.

  6. Allow the turkey to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
