Thanksgiving looks quite a bit different this year and most of us won’t be traveling or entertaining like in years past. I wanted to share a turkey breast recipe that would be perfect for two. And quite honestly if roasting a big ‘ol bird intimidates you, this would be the way to go. It’s a simple recipe with incredible flavor and turns our perfectly every time. We even make this on occasion during the year when craving something other than chicken. Don’t forget to sop up the juices and put a few of those onions on your plate.
Enjoy!
