Rob's Turkey Gravy

Be the first to rate & review!

Great turkey gravy is so much easier than people think. This recipe assumes that you are cooking a whole turkey. Also, this recipe takes advantage of those packaged mixes available at any grocery store which is a lot easier and tastier than using flour. You will wind up with a nice tan to brown gravy that tastes better than any turkey gravy you've had.

Ingredients

  • giblets and neck from a whole turkey

  • 3 cups water, or as needed

  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon, or more to taste

  • 3 (.87 ounce) packages turkey gravy mix

Directions

  1. Place giblets and neck in a saucepan and cover with water. Add 2 bouillon cubes and place on the stove over medium-low heat. Cook for 1 hour, then check water level; if it has dipped below the turkey parts at all, add fresh water to cover and another cube of bouillon. Repeat this as necessary, for a total cooking time of 3 to 4 hours.

  2. Strain the remaining liquid and discard any solids. You should have between 2 to 3 cups of real, fresh turkey broth.

  3. Combine broth and gravy mix in a small saucepan using a ratio of 1 cup broth to 1 package gravy mix; stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until gravy comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minutes. Serve hot.
