Gravy. Another necessary component of Thanksgiving dinner.
A robustly flavored gravy, slowly simmering away on the stove, creating the perfect alchemy of savory, rich flavors, has true “labor of love” status. Thrifty cooks of the non-vegetarian variety would argue that a turkey gravy isn’t a true gravy without turkey drippings (heck, many consider the giblets a must as well)! After all, what will better mask the turkey’s dryness than the turkey’s moister parts?
EW. That’s what many cooks have to say about gravy, particularly when drippings and giblets are involved. What is the appeal of a concoction containing gross, unidentifiable animal parts? One can whip up a perfectly lovely vegetarian gravy with mushrooms, spices or even nutritional yeast. No need to do it like Grandma did in this case.
Will you be pouring on the turkey gravy or choosing a safe veggie option?
