This roast turkey for two with pan-sauce gravy is a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy a classic roast dinner without the fuss of a whole bird. Using a bone-in turkey breast ensures the meat stays succulent and full of flavour, while searing the skin first creates a beautiful golden finish. The pan-sauce is enriched with aromatic thyme, rosemary, and sage, providing a savoury depth that perfectly complements the lean poultry.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and a light, herb-infused gravy instead of heavy, flour-based sauces. It is an excellent choice for a Sunday lunch or a special occasion for two. Serve alongside a generous portion of steamed green vegetables and roasted root vegetables for a balanced, heart-healthy meal that feels truly indulgent.

Ingredients for Turkey for Two with Pan-Sauce Gravy
1 split skin-on, bone-in turkey breast (about 900g .)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
160ml dry white wine
2 sprigs thyme
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig sage
2 vitlöksklyftor, krossade
1 teaspoon cornflour
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
How to make Turkey for Two with Pan-Sauce Gravy
Tillbaka till innehållPreheat oven to 177°C. Season turkey with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour, which will help the turkey cook more quickly and evenly.
Heat oil in a 10" ovenproof skillet over high until just barely smoking. Sear turkey skin side down until deeply golden brown, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add wine to skillet, scraping up browned bits with a spatula, and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic, cornflour, and 160ml water, and whisk to combine.
Place breast skin side up in liquid in skillet and transfer skillet to oven. Roast, checking every 20 minutes or so and adding 60ml more water if liquid under turkey is evaporating lower than 1" in pan, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast without touching bone registers 66°C, about 50 minutes (temperature will continue to rise as turkey rests).
Transfer turkey to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, remove herb sprigs from skillet and discard. Whisk liquid remaining in skillet until garlic mostly dissolves, adding a splash of water and heating over high if needed to loosen (gravy should be thick but easily pourable). Whisk butter into gravy until melted. Strain gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a small pitcher or bowl.
Serve turkey with gravy alongside.
