Roast for 25 minutes, turning once.
Rub the turkey with lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Nestle it into the tray with the chestnuts and cranberries.

Rest the turkey on a warm plate for 5 minutes, then slice if using larger pieces.
Toss the tray vegetables in the roasting juices and serve with the turkey on top.

Cook's tip
Turkey breast is lean, so do not skip the short rest. It keeps the meat juicier while you finish the tray vegetables.
