Thought I'd share, just in time for Thanksgiving.

BTW, Ron, here is MY turkey gravy recipe:
1) Stuff turkey by salting the cavity and filling with 2-3 sage leaves and one onion, cut into 1/2 or quarters

2) Boil livers, gizzards, heart and neck in a crock pot while the turkey cooks. (Add salt as you prefer.)

3) Right before the turkey is done, remove liver, gizzards, heart and neck from crock pot. Put aside. Save the turkey broth.

4) Remove turkey after cooking. Scrape any solid drippings and put into blender along with:
--livers
--milk
--flour
--turkey broth
DO NOT OVERFILL YOUR BLENDER BECAUSE YOU WILL BE BLENDING VERY HOT INGREDIANTS!
Blend and pour into roaster that held the turkey or into a clean dutch oven. (Dutch ovens are heavier than stock pots, but a stock pot will do, in a pinch.)

5) Pour in the remainder of the turkey stock.

6) Use a whisk to stir and stir continuously until thick. Feel free to add more flour, but sift it in.

NOTE: This will make A LOT of gravy, so you'll probably want to freeze the remainder to use sometime later.

OMG,

:gig as if this could actually happen!

I could swim in this much Gravy! LOL It all sounds so delish!

I got my Turkey yesterday (frozen of course); as much as I should be raising my own bird, I am not quite there yet. My Turkey was .40 cents a pound. So my 16 pound bird cost me a little over $6.

Thanks for the recipe, I will try this one!

Ron :weee

Ron, thanks!! (DH loves my gravy, too--he just doesn't like to know about all of the ingredients!)
BTW, I make 6-8 turkey dinners a year, so if you're gonna be in the area let me know, and I'll make you one. (PLEASE contact me 3-4 weeks in advance, 'cause we're CW Reenacters and we'll be at a lot of events starting in April, training in new horses.)

Normally, I make the following for every turkey meal:
AT LEAST a 12 pound turkey
(Home-made) Mashed potatoes (we add some sour cream to ours)
Corn (on the cob or from a can or frozen)
Green Beans or Brussel Sprouts
cranberry sauce OR cranberry-orange relish

FOR THANKSGIVING we add the following:
Fried Okra
Slaw or 1-2-3 salad
Pumpkin Pie and/or Cherry Pie and/or Lemon Merangue Pie and/or Applie Pie
