This gravy is fantastic! I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. Perfect consistency.
I’m a bit skeptical about using turkey drippings, do I really need that? Can I just use water instead?
Using turkey drippings really adds flavor! Water will just make it bland.
Meh. It was okay but too salty for my taste. I guess I overdid the seasoning. Next time I’ll be more cautious.
I think you just need to watch your salt! Gravy can be tricky but it’s so good when done right. Keep at it!
Too salty? I just dump salt in everything! 😂 But I get it, seasoning is hard.
Gravy is just flour and fat mixed with water anyway. Didn’t impress me much, lol.
