I have been using this recipe for many years, my family loves this gravy and I have served it to dinner guests over the holidays and always receive rave reviews! --- you don't need to make this gravy using all pan drippings, if you do not have 4 cups of drippings you may mix with chicken broth to make the 4 cups, or it may be made with only chicken broth, please see note on the bottom of the recipe--- this may be made slightly ahead and kept uncovered on top of the stove until ready to serve, just whisk before using If you have any left over this gravy freezes very well or you may reduce all ingredients down to half and for a thinner gravy reduce flour by 1 tablespoon --- also see my recipe#314890 for more of my recipes visit www.kittencalskitchen.com

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your gravy a more complex flavor. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and herbs like thyme or sage.
Roast your vegetables before adding them to the gravy. This will help to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
Use a good quality stock. The stock is the base of your gravy, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a stock that is made with real bones and vegetables, and avoid stocks that are made with bouillon cubes or powders.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make gravy, so don't be afraid to experiment until you find a recipe that you like. You can add different herbs, spices, or even fruits to your gravy to give it a unique flavor.

Making gravy from scratch is a great way to add flavor to your holiday meals. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious gravy that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're cooking a turkey, don't forget to make some gravy!
