Insert meat thermometer in meaty portion of breast making sure it does not touch bone. Cover and bake at 325 degrees about 1 1/2 to 2 hours until meat thermometer registers 185 degrees. Baste turkey frequently with the cider mixture. Combine 1/2 cup cider and cornstarch and mix well; stir into pan drippings. Return to oven and bake uncovered until sauce is thickened.
