Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have a roasting rack, you can place the turkey breast on a bed of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
• To make a gravy, remove the turkey breast from the roasting pan and let it rest. Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the roasting pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
