A lot of times I have only a few people for Thanksgiving dinner. So instead of cooking a whole turkey, I make a turkey breast. To save room in the oven for casseroles, I decided to play around with an instant pot...
Gluten-free turkey gravy is pretty easy to make, using 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch in place of 1/4 cup flour in any recipe. But many people with gluten issues cross-react with cornstarch. So I played with xanthan gum until I figured out...
