This easy Thanksgiving turkey breast is just the right amount to serve two with leftovers, or four for dinner. While the turkey roasts, its juices mingle in the pan with aromatics and just enough cornstarch to add body, creating an expertly seasoned gravy that’s ready at the end of the cooking time. Use this recipe as part of your gluten-free Thanksgiving menu or any Thanksgiving feast for a small crowd.
