Have you been blogging too long when you start to duplicate your posts? Or, is that just a sign that what you're posting about is really, really good. I prefer to believe the latter. My "faithful readers" may have noticed that my posts at the beginning of this month were sporadic. That was because my significant other's daughter was married at the beginning of the month. Following that joyous occasion, I headed to my refuge on Longboat Key, Florida for a little R & R, which, unfortunately, never happened. Instead I sat in my recliner staring longingly at the beautiful Gulf of Mexico while I fought a terrible cold and sore throat. On a positive note, I got lots of stitching on my latest crazy quilting project done. When I got home, I realized with a start that Thanksgiving was almost upon us.
When I came here to post about it, something made me look in my index and sure enough, there is was! I thought, however, that the photos I snapped today were better looking, and so I used them and will just give you a link to the recipe HERE.
The advantages to making your turkey gravy ahead of time are two-fold. First, it is far less stressful than trying to manage carving the turkey, getting all the side dishes to the table, as you stand and tend the gravy, which does take your full attention. Second, the turkey parts you use in this recipe can be used for salads, soups, sandwiches, or casseroles, a nice bonus.
Wishing you all a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends!
Looks delicious I was just getting mom's recipe out when I saw this now I cant wait to make some Happy Thanksgiving hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteMade the turkey stock yesterday and making the gravy in the a.m. on Thanksgiving and putting it in a slow cooker. Isn't it true that the wonder of having done this many times teaches you that you don't have to be frazzled? Here's to a joyous and stress-free Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memory jog!! Tempus fugit & may family and friends enjoy your culinary achievements. Enjoy!...and I sure would love to be sitting on Longboat Key!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you are organised!
ReplyDeleteWhen I clicked on "here" it just led me right back to this post...?
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are feeling better. And I think that excellent recipes should be repeated. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBecky, sorry about that. Just redid it and it worked for me.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe ROCKS! Nice!
ReplyDeletemmm, it wouldn't be thanksgiving without some good gravy!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike. I think we both use the same turkey gravy recipe. It has definitely made my life a whole lot easier. I, too, have a Thanksgiving binder that I keep in my Turkey Decoration and Linen box. It has my count down and tried and true recipes. Next year, I've invited myself to my BFF's house up in the San Francisco Bay area. It's worth a two hour drive to have a little R&R from the hours of prepping for this meal. LOVE your saying of "needing to percolate". Yep, I can relate. Hopefully, you are feeling better and can get ready for the next holiday. De-Stress!
