- Start by rubbing the mixture all over the turkey breast. Then, place the turkey in the roasting pan, make sure you pour the remaining sauce mixture on top. Cover with foil and transfer to the oven.
- Roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes for the turkey breast to brown nicely. The internal temperature of the turkey breast should be at 165 F degrees once done cooking.
- Once cooked, slice it up and serve with your favorite sides dishes and drizzled with Honey Orange Sauce.

- Continue to stir and cook until the mixture starts to lightly simmer and it thickens. Remove from heat and serve with the turkey.
