# Method:

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