5 Turkey Breast Recipes Your Guests Will Gobble Up

The turkey breast is one the most coveted parts of the bird at Thanksgiving, and for good reason: it's incredibly juicy and no bone gets in the way. It's even better when dripping in gravy and with a delicately crispy skin. If you're cooking for a small party this year—or want to forgo doing a whole bird—consider cooking turkey breast for Thanksgiving.

Just because you aren't roasting an entire turkey doesn't mean you have no options. Cooking a turkey breast for Thanksgiving can be as easy as dumping one into your slow cooker and forgetting about it while you tend to the pies. Or, you can put in a little extra effort (but not too much) and use the smoker. Whatever you choose, here are our best Thanksgiving turkey breast recipes.
