2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 (1 1/4 lb) skinless boneless turkey breast halves
cooking spray
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 garlic cloves, sliced
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
2/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 cup water
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2 cups uncooked couscous
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/3 cup chopped peeled lemon, sections

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°.
To prepare turkey, combine first 8 ingredients; rub over turkey. Place turkey on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; insert a meat thermometer into thickest portion of a breast. Bake at 400° for 55 minutes or until thermometer registers 180°. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
To prepare couscous, bring orange juice to a boil in a small saucepan while turkey bakes. Stir in cranberries. Remove from heat; let stand 30 minutes. Drain cranberries in a colander over a bowl, reserving juice.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sliced garlic; saute 1 minute. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in reserved juice, water, curry, 1 teaspoon salt, and broth; bring to a boil. Gradually stir in couscous; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
Fluff couscous with a fork. Add cranberries, basil, cilantro, rind, and lemon sections, tossing gently to combine. Cut each turkey breast into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve turkey with couscous.
