MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY



Make-Ahead Gravy image

You need gravy on Thanksgiving to aid the turkey, moisten the potatoes, douse the stuffing. But traditionally it's made at the last minute, after the turkey has been removed from the roasting pan. Here's a secret: There's no need to make gravy right before serving. You can make it up to five days ahead. Then, as you reheat it, whisk in the turkey pan drippings for extra flavor. The result is every bit as good as last-minute gravy - and far less crazy-making.

Time 20m

Yield 5 to 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup flour
Salt and pepper
4 to 5 cups rich stock, warmed
Turkey drippings and giblets (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on the onions, stirring constantly, and cook until flour is golden to brown. Adjust heat so mixture does not burn.
  • Gradually whisk in 4 cups stock until mixture thickens and is smooth. If it is too thick, add liquid. Cool, cover and chill.
  • When ready to serve, reheat mixture over low heat, stirring. Scrape bottom of turkey pan and add drippings or giblets to gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve.

HAM GRAVY; SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS



Ham Gravy; Simple and Delicious image

I whipped this gravy up because we had none. I don't recall ever having nor hearing of ham gravy before, but it was so good I have to share. The ham I used was a 9lb bone-in, fully cooked, hickory smoked, glazed and spiral cut, it also came with a brown sugar packet for a second glazing. After I covered the ham with foil and put it in the oven for an hour (as the directions directed), I spooned out some drippings BEFORE adding the second glaze and returning the ham to the oven for the final 30 minutes of warming up.

GRAM'S HAM LOAF

Famous Western Pennsylvania Ham Loaf. Perfect way to use up left over smoked ham after Christmas or Easter. Be sure to serve it with a generous amount of sauce. We use a hand-held meat grinder that belonged to my husband's great-grandmother - doesn't take long and is somewhat nostalgic.
