    I have been making Chef John's recipe for Make Ahead Turkey Gravy for the past 4 or 5 years. It is by far the BEST gravy on the planet! Thank you Chef John for making so many cooks' lives so much easier, and our dinners even tastier!! Happy Thanksgiving!

    OMG. This was the BEST gravy I've ever ever EVER created. It was done and gorgeous and silky and sitting on the back of the stove an hour before the turkey came out. Perfectly salted. Perfectly peppered. I spent yesterday making the stock and the awesome cheesecake. Calm Calm Calm. There was no Gravy Panic and Whisking Angst in the Blazing Hot Roasting Pan after the turkey came out of the oven with everyone running around asking when dinner would be done. It was on the back of the stove ready to go. I threw in some drippings, but it didn't really need it. I did that so that "yes! it's from the turkey I just made!" Thank you very very much Chef John....the ultimate mashed potatoes didn't wilt at all with the gravy. You have now restored SOME aspect of Thanksgiving sanity. HUGS

    Ten years later, thank you Chef John for the best idea since sliced bread. Just made a batch 10 days early, and it tastes great! The stress relief on Thanksgiving day from not having to make the gravy cannot be over stated!

  • @stuartschnare152

    Seems that this “make ahead” gravy would take a lot of the pressure off the cook and give you more time to enjoy your guests during the holidays. Great idea.

    • @Knight-Night
      @Knight-Night 5 років тому +5

      Except it's twice as hard as a gravy you finish after the turkey is done with twice as much work to do and more baking so in the long run it actually adds work to your Thanksgiving schedule

  • @DougZbikowski
    @DougZbikowski 3 роки тому +31

    This is my go-to method for making stock for gravy, but a couple of additional tips:
    - Add a raw carrot, a small unpeeled onion (cut in half), and don't bother peeling the garlic. Just dump it in. The cooked veggies don't seem to add much flavor.
    - I add parsley and rosemary to my turkey stock. Gives it a fresh taste and the rosemary says "HOLIDAY!" :)
    - Use a dry white wine (chardonnay is my favorite) to deglaze the roasting pan. Really elevates the flavor
    - If you can, strain the stock while it's hot then refrigerate overnight. The fat will solidify, making a lot easier to remove. I use the fat in my stuffing, and you can also make the roux out of it.

    I used to put on a spread for about 30 people each year, and had to do two birds. I say 'do' because sometimes one of the birds was smoked overnight. Yum. I roasted one of the turkeys two days in advance, allowing me time to carve it down and do justice to the carcass and make a vat of glorious gravy. Just heat and serve the day of. If I ended up roasting the other turkey, I could whisk the pan with the carcass to the cold garage to wait until everyone had gone and I had more space in my refrigerator to work with. I could then remove any carrots and celery that remained on the crudités tray for my mirepoix. I then had time to make another big batch of highly reduced stock. This batch was divided and frozen for soups and gravy on demand. Your method really pushed my nostalgia buttons.

    Gonna do the exact same thing but with the pan liquid and drippings after I cook a 20lb turkey. Gonna roast the turkey with the aromatics in the bottom of the pan. Strain all the juices after the turkey is done and let the fat separate from the juices. Then I'ma skim the fat and mix it with the butter and flour like you demonstrated. I expect to feed at least a dozen guest so I will add pre bought chicken stock and increase the butter/flour as needed, but I feel like I have the basics down for an awesome gravy now. Thanks a million.

    I just tried this recipe and truly the BEST turkey gravy I've ever had in my life. Thanks Chef John
    A few adjustments on the fly:
    * I include the turkey neck + turkey backbone (I spatchcocked the turkey)
    * I reduced it too much and end up having to add more water and bring to another boil and simmer for 30min again to have enough turkey broth
    * did my rue on a cast iron skillet | worked great as well

    • @_wormlet

I found if I made the stock ahead and refrigerated it, the beautiful fat would be sitting on top, ready for me to scrape right off and lots of beautiful broth to add. Reduced it down a bit and I had gravy that was out of this world. Thank you Chef John! 🥰❤👍🍷 Hope you & yours had an amazing Thanksgiving.

The extra time to do this is worth every minute and the broth was in my freezer ready to go because I started early to have this ready. YUM

    @peepslostsheep 12 років тому

    Gravy has been made this way in my family for ages (having a large family we always had 2 turkeys, we just snatched the wings from one of them the day before and made the gravy base, then heated it up on Thanksgiving). I remember watching my grandmother do this when I was 4 or 5. Traditions vary! If it isn't thick enough, just make some more roux. I prefer thick gravy, so usually go 1.5-2 tbs fat+1.5-2 tbs flour for every cup of liquid (as opposed to the usual 1 tbs fat/flour per cup).
