Sometimes you need a bit more than the Thanksgiving style turkey. This is sweet and spicy and super juicy.

3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 (1 1/2-pound) skinless, boneless turkey breast halves
Cooking spray
Sauce Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450F.
