Turkey gravy is by far the best sauce that enhances the smell and taste of your Thanksgiving dish. Sorry, cranberry sauce lovers. So don't rush to clean the roasting pan because turkey juice is actually the best and most fragrant part of it.

How to make gravy from scratch

To prepare turkey gravy, you need to fry or boil turkey first. The leftover juice on the bottom of the pan is the main ingredient that creates gravy’s smell and taste. Then you need to add spices and flour, chicken or turkey broth, and simmer the mixture. 

What to use to thicken gravy

You can use more flour or a little cornstarch to thicken turkey gravy. Also, adding less pan juice or broth will also make your gravy thicker. Another option is adding extra ingredients. For example, you can add mushrooms at the same moment you add onion. Just wait till all the mushroom water evaporates while you cook it. 

How long is gravy good for in the fridge

You can store your gravy for about 5 days. To increase its storage time, put it in the freezer. It will have a jello texture when it is in the freezer but will return back to normal when you heat it.
