Turkey Gravy

Food traditions during the holidays might vary from household to household, but there's one thing most people can agree on: It's not a festive meal without a mouth-watering gravy that warms your stomach and your soul. And while there's nothing wrong with a store-bought gravy, you've got a real chance to bring something special to the table when you mix your own with the drippings from your holiday turkey. The biggest benefit is that whatever flavorings you've added to the meat will transfer to the drippings, so you know your gravy will be a perfect pairing. On top of that, making it at home cuts down on food waste, and it lets you adjust the taste to your exact preference. You already know you're putting gravy on your turkey, but why stop there? If you're like us, you're no stranger to a gravy boat, and have likely poured that velvety goodness all over your potatoes and stuffing before sopping up any leftover traces with a bit of bread. And if you haven't done that, we encourage you to give it a go. It's part of the holiday experience, after all.
