How to Make Stuffed Turkey Breast With Cranberry Glaze

**Prepare the Stuffing:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped carrots for 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Add 1 cup of chicken stock and 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning to the skillet.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of cubed bread. Let cool slightly.
**Make the Cranberry Glaze:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup cranberry sauce, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
Set aside 1/2 cup of the glaze for serving.
**Prepare the Turkey:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or small roasting pan.
Place the turkey breast on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice horizontally through the center, stopping about 1 inch from the opposite edge.
Open the turkey breast like a book and cover it with plastic wrap.
Gently pound the turkey breast to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Spread the cooled stuffing evenly over one half of the turkey breast.
Fold the other half of the breast over the stuffing and secure with toothpicks.
Transfer the stuffed turkey breast to the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining cranberry glaze over the top.
Bake uncovered for 60-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Let the turkey rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with reserved cranberry glaze.
