Four Gravy Recipes

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

I've been thinking a lot about gravy lately. Not just because Thanksgiving is coming up, but because a good gravy really does make everything better. Mashed potatoes, turkey, biscuits: they're all fine on their own, but add the right gravy and suddenly it's a meal worth remembering.

I've got four gravy recipes that cover pretty much any situation you'll run into:

​Giblet Gravy​

This is the traditional one. If you've got giblets from your turkey, this recipe turns them into rich, flavorful gravy that tastes like the holidays should.

​Gravy from Drippings​

Got pan drippings? This is your recipe. It's straightforward and uses what you've already got from roasting your turkey or chicken.

​Gravy Without Drippings​

No drippings? No problem. This one uses chicken or turkey stock and still delivers on flavor. It's a lifesaver when you need gravy but don't have pan drippings.

​Chocolate Gravy​

Okay, this one's different. It's a Southern breakfast thing: sweet, chocolatey, and perfect over biscuits. Not for your turkey, but worth making if you want something special for breakfast or dessert.

Pick the recipe that works for your meal and you'll be set.

Happy Cooking,

spatchcock turkey

Hi Reader, I'm done with the traditional way of roasting turkey. Last Thanksgiving, I spatchcocked mine, which drastically cut the cooking time. My large bird was roasted in under 2 hours, and every single bite – white meat, dark meat, all of it – was juicy and delicious. How to Spatchcock a Turkey Now, I know "spatchcocking" sounds intimidating, but it's just cutting out the backbone with kitchen shears. I've got a video showing how to do it that's really clear.
