Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner - Turkey Gravy

PictureTurkey Gravy
I confess to loving turkey gravy and dressing as much or more than the turkey itself. I also confess that I'm partial to this gravy recipe inspired by one of my grandmothers. She always put a bit of allspice in her gravy, and I love how it enhances the flavor.

Then there's the broth. I could go on and on about the tastiness and benefits of turkey broth. I always try to have some in the freezer, but you can also find it in stores. You can also make a bit of broth from the turkey gilets. Try turkey broth in your gravy and you'll be a convert, too

See my Thanksgiving Turkey Menu below and watch for more of these recipes
​ Servings: 6      Serving size: 1/3 cup      Preparation time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter       
4 tablespoons cornstarch or
    arrowroot or flour
1 1/2 cups turkey broth
1 cup turkey drippings       
1/4 cup white table wine      
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Salt to taste

Directions
1. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. 
2. Stir in cornstarch (or flour or arrowroot), and cook for 1 minute while whisking. 
3. Gradually add broth, drippings, wine, and seasonings, stirring constantly. 
4. Bring to a boil while stirring. 
5. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened.
Wonderful to pour over your hot turkey sandwich the next day.
​I hope you enjoy my recipes. Let me know if you've tried any of them and how they turned out. Feel free to share your favorite Thanksgiving recipes in your comments.

Good cooking to you, and Happy Thanksgiving!
​Linda

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
