Anybody out there with good tips on making turkey gravy without the turkey drippings!
On Eagle's Wings
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:29-31

My tip - Be sure and make it for Thanksgiving. lol
Nonnie, I laugh, because once of the first things I told Ted ,we do not eat gravy. or sauces. too much fat. He still laughs about that. Although we do indeed have gravy. I just don't make it. So honey, I have no good recipes. Maybe some of those gravies in a jar. LOL Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
I gave up making gravy when the kind in the jar is so much better - and no lumps!!
That juice that comes off the turkey just can't be substituted...well it can, but it's just not the same. I was always the Turkey baker, gravy maker and stuffing fixer, but the baton has been passed and now I get to enjoy the work of my daughters and it's just as delicious.
You don’t use the turkey drippings? I use those and the giblets so unfortunately I have no tips for you. I’m OK with lumpy potatoes and lumpy gravy… I love it all!
I have mixed luck making turkey graving from drippings. Some years, it's great and other years, not so good. I always have a jar of ready made gravy as a stand by just in case!
I've been cooking turkeys for 30 years now. I can't for the life of me make good gravy. I buy the jars of Heinz gravy or an organic gravy from Sprouts. I do however add some of the drippings to the gravy.
I use this recipe from Southern Living for Make Ahead Gravy. You buy a package of Turkey legs and roast them so you get that wonderful flavor. It is easy and delicious and the best part is you can make it up to 3 days in advance and just heat on Thanksgiving. I usually keep a little chicken broth on hand in case it needs thinning after sitting in the frig.
