Agave-Glazed Turkey Breast with Sherry Gravy

This elegant roasted turkey breast offers a sophisticated twist on a classic roast dinner. By using a sweet agave nectar glaze and a sharp sherry vinegar reduction, the meat achieves a beautifully caramelised skin while remaining succulent and tender. This dairy-free main course is an excellent alternative to a full bird, providing plenty of flavour with a fraction of the preparation time, making it ideal for a smaller festive gathering or a refined weekend lunch.

The accompanying sherry gravy is the star of the show, utilising the savoury pan drippings and a dry sherry deglaze to create a deep, complex sauce. Thickened without butter to keep the dish entirely dairy-free, the gravy provides a tangy balance to the honey-like notes of the agave glaze. Serve this sliced turkey alongside roasted root vegetables and seasonal greens for a complete, homemade feast that feels truly special.

Pat turkey breast dry and rub all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons sea salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. If you have the time, chill the breast in a baking dish, covered, overnight ().

Let turkey stand at room temperature 1 hour.

Heat oven to 218°C with rack in lower third. Position turkey on rack in pan and roast 30 minutes.

Reduce oven to 204°C and scatter onion slices in bottom of roasting pan. Add 240ml water and continue to roast until thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast, close to but not touching bone, registers 71°C, 30 to 40 minutes.

While turkey is roasting, stir together agave nectar and vinegar in a small nonreactive saucepan and boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to 45ml . Remove from heat, but keep warm.

Brush glaze on turkey and roast until thermometer registers 74°C, 3 to 5 minutes.

Transfer turkey breast to a platter and let stand 15 minutes.

While turkey is standing, remove the rack, scraping off any yummy bits into the pan.

Straddle pan over 2 burners and add sherry, then deglaze pan by boiling sherry, stirring and scraping up browned bits, for 1 minute.

Strain liquid through a sieve into a heavy medium saucepan. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and keep at a simmer.
