Collecting drippings: After removing the turkey from the oven, pour the drippings into a bowl and let sit for a few minutes to allow the fat to separate from the drippings. Remove excess fat with a spoon.

Thickening the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the cooking juices over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to form a paste. Add this mixture to the pan while whisking constantly. Then add the gluten-free broth, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.

Serving: Serve the mashed potatoes hot, topped with gluten-free gravy sauce for a rich and comforting dish.
