2. Rinse the turkey breast under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

3. Combine chicken broth and white wine in a bowl or jar to create the basting mixture.

4. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

5. Place the carrots, celery, and onion in the roasting pan to create a flavorful bed for the turkey.

6. Prepare a rack by spraying it with vegetable oil and place it in the roasting pan over the vegetables.

7. Position the turkey breast on the prepared rack in the roasting pan.

8. Roast the turkey breast in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes per pound, or until the juices run clear. This typically takes about an hour and a half. Baste the turkey with the broth-wine mixture every 15 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.

9. Remove the vegetables from the pan and discard them.

10. Allow the roasted turkey breast to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This step helps retain the juices and ensures a tender texture.

11. Prepare the gravy using the flavorful drippings left in the pan. Pour the liquid into a fat separator or skim off the fat.

12. Transfer 2 cups of the defatted liquid into a saucepan and stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons of cold water.

13. Cook and stir the gravy over medium heat until thickened to your desired consistency.

14. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
