Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the turkey roast in a medium-sized roasting pan or baking dish.
-
Prepare the Glaze:
In a medium bowl, combine the two cans of whole berry cranberry sauce, the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix, and the fresh juice from both oranges. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
*You may substitute chicken stock, apple cider, or water for the 1/2 cup of orange juice. -
Glaze and Roast:
Pour the cranberry-orange glaze mixture directly over the turkey roast.
-
Bake:
Place the turkey in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F.
-
Rest and Serve:
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. You'll need to remove the netting by cutting it with scissors before slicing the roast.

Finishing Touch:
Slice the turkey and arrange it in the serving dish. Pour the remaining warm glaze over the sliced turkey before serving.
