P.S. Gravy has always been the bane of my roasted bird existence, but this year we tried Alton Brown's version, made from a white roux instead of just stirring in cornstarch and hoping for the best. I used white wine, stock, and the turkey drippings, and it was wonderful.

Posted by: Teresa at November 25, 2006 12:53 AMI confess I keep "Tones" on hand. It's a dry chicken gravy mix I pick up at Costco. It adds flavor, doesn't lump and thickens very nicely. I use the flour roux to start but Tones helps in a pinch.
Posted by: toni at November 25, 2006 07:53 AMI don't like making the gravy either but Fred said it turned out fine this year. My mother in law's receipe calls for the liver from the turkey (cooked on the stove), turkey drippings, Wondra, Magi Seasoning and Kitchen Bouquet Seasoning...yuuummmmyyyy!
