Cooking Tips

• If you don't have enough drippings, you can use chicken or turkey broth to make up the difference.
• For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or a tablespoon of butter to the gravy.
• If the gravy is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more broth or water.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the gravy in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Serve the reheated gravy with leftover turkey or use it as a sauce for other dishes.
