I accidentally overcooked the turkey a bit, but the gravy saved the day! It was so good that no one even noticed the turkey was a little dry.

I didn't have any shallots, so I used a yellow onion instead. The gravy was still very flavorful.

I had some trouble finding wild mushrooms, so I used button mushrooms instead. The gravy still turned out great.
