About Homemade turkey gravy
Homemade Turkey Gravy is a classic staple of American comfort cuisine, often served during holiday meals like Thanksgiving. Made from the drippings of roasted turkey, it combines rich, savory turkey juices with a base of flour or cornstarch for thickening, and broth or stock for consistency. Butter, salt, pepper, and optional herbs like thyme or parsley are commonly added for flavor enhancement. While it boasts a robust, satisfying taste, its nutritional profile can vary. Turkey drippings provide some protein and essential nutrients from the meat, but the addition of butter and starch increases its fat and calorie content. When prepared mindfully—using less butter or choosing whole-grain flour—it can be a flavorful complement to meals without being overly indulgent. Its origins are deeply rooted in American culinary traditions, making it a cherished comfort food that ties generations together at the dinner table.
