There was a discussion a few days ago about ideas for doing this. I just read another idea to add to the list, but don't know where the discussion was - the turkey day thread???
Anyway, this sounded interesting. Use whatever favorite base gravy (any make ahead recipe you've found) and at the last minute when you have turkey drippings, just add some of it to your gravy.
On one hand, I think this is a good way to add some great turkey flavor to the gravy, but on the other hand, the gravy may miss something in flavor by not having been cooked with the drippings. Since I'm having roasted/smoked duck, I can't play with this this year.
Just thought I'd pass this along.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
