i do the same as sweetvickid when i cook my giblets a use the water where i cooked the giblets with the dripping good luck

Granules. Just add water. It does exactly what it says on the tin!..LOL
First time I tried to make gravy it just wasn't happening, it looked like dishwater, so I added more Corn stuff...And More.... AND MORE! All of a sudden it started thickening up and within about 3 seconds I could life the pan off the oven by the spoon in it!...It carried on thickening whilst I was maniacally throwing water at it..No hope! It ended up like a grey 4inch thick rubber frizbee..... The dog wouldn't touch it after I bounced it around the kitchen... even the dustbinmen (garbage collectors) refused to take it, thinking it was nuclear waste!
Never again..........Bisto Gravy Granules......every time.

I pretty much follow the above recipes, however, instead of water, i use milk. I makes is more like a thick country gravy, but everyone raves about it. I also add a tablespoon of butter, just to make it as fattening as i can.

The above recipes sound rather traditional to me, and I am not known for sticking to tradition. I use the sack of "innards" (which include the neck, liver, gizzard, heart, etc) of the turkey, and boil that in water. When the gizzard is somewhat done, I remove the meats and then pull as much meat from the bone of the neck as I can, slice the gizzard, liver and heart, and return it to the water. To that I add one can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, one can of Cream of Chicken Soup, one small onion diced, one stick of celery diced, and one boiled egg, diced. Let this come to a boil, and cook until the celery is soft. Add salt and pepper. That makes a good gravy, without a lot of work. Enjoy. Hugs,

I'm tired just reading it! Sounds like you're quite the cook, Judy. It sounds wonderful! Can you set 4 extra plates? PLEASE?

I like your idea Tasha since I do not cook. But, if I did cook, I would take your advice. It would still be homemade since it was made at home, right? ♥Pammy

You must have gotten your gravy recipe from me. Mine taste like flour. I just buy the jar of gravy and nuke it.

Mine is pretty much the same, but I add a little Kitchen Bouquet. I love that stuff in a gravy!

Ok no pun intended here ladies.... I am not a good gravy maker but do have my perfect every time Thanksgiving gravy. When I roast the turkey I put lots of sliced shallots and onions in the bottom of the roaster. After the turkey is out and resting I scoop all those marvelous seasoned pieces and put them in a blender. Add a bit of chicken broth and perfect everytime!
