  • @aclonymous
    @aclonymous Před 5 měsíci

    This was my contribution to my thanksgiving dinner with my parents, and we LOVED it. My dad brines our thanksgiving turkeys, so there were substantially more juices to cook down and caramelize, and the gravy ended much darker and thicker as a result. My mom was a bit squeamish over the neck, but once it got strained, she couldn't get enough of it. Thank you, Master Proto.

    Frank, I love you. I have struggled with gravy for years, to the point where I no longer try. I take everything in the bottom of the pan and use that as the base for stuffing (which means I make a delicious stuffing). I used this method with some chicken wings and a turkey neck as a test run and it came out better than any gravy I've ever previously made. So now I've got the problem of wanting to use my turkey dripping mirepoix base for two things. May need to roast 2 turkeys this year...

    I love this technique of leaving the vegetables in through the whole process of making the gravy. Saves a lot of time not having to pick everything out first before making the roux. Now I want to buy a turkey just to make this gravy! Thanks, Chef. One more thing, some cooks add a splash of white wine. What do you think?

    I'm going to try this out this year! I did the exact same thing except everything done in the roasting pan done in the stock as a flavor booster there. This won't take over a burner on the stove all day of cooking and I bet those aromatics of the mirepoix add a nice flavor to the bird, too!

    @ajs11201 Před 2 měsíci

    Another tip: Do you still need more liquid, but you're out of stock? Use some of the water you boiled your potatoes in. That salty, starchy water is a nice addition to your gravy. Oops, your gravy is too thin? No problem--just stir in a plop of mashed potatoes.
