Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
-
In a small bowl, combine plum jam, dry sherry, cider vinegar, and pressed garlic. Stir in the Teriyaki Baste & Glaze until smooth.
-
Place the turkey breast skin-side up in a shallow foil-lined baking pan.
-
Brush both sides of the turkey breast with about one-third of the glaze mixture.
-
Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake at 450ðF (232ðC) for 20 minutes.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 325ðF (165ðC).
-
Remove the foil cover. Turn the turkey breast over and brush with another portion of the glaze mixture.
-
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, brushing with more glaze halfway through.
-
Continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ðF and juices run clear, brushing with the remaining glaze after 20 minutes of this final stage.
-
Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Note
For a vegetarian version, substitute the turkey with a firm tofu block or seitan, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
If dry sherry is unavailable, you can substitute with dry white wine or apple cider vinegar, though the flavor will be slightly different.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to prevent drying out.
For a crispier skin, broil the turkey for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
