Return to the top . Turkey Gravy I have a hard time understanding while people have so many problems making gravy. It is so easy to make. One of my earliest memories is helping make gravy on holidays by scraping the bottom of the roasting pan to get all the decadent bits of baked on stuff that really make the gravy. I think I was born with a wooden spoon in my mouth rather than the proverbial silver spoon.
Many people have their idea of a perfect gravy.
Mine is below. You can add sherry, port, sauteed mushrooms, your favorite liqueur, and it will still hold its own. In a large saucepan combine the 3 cups water, turkey giblets, celery, carrot, onion, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, and peppercorns and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for an hour. Strain and defat the broth.
