wtf no gravy

And if they do the bird, it's a given. My lame SIL served wet lettuce as a "salad" at Passover and turkey without gravy at t-day in the same year. Everyone thought "you're a terrible host" (she doesn't like gravy or dressing), but I got up and said "no sweat, I'll make it in five minutes." Major family drama. Because foisting your food preferences on 15 other people is ok. :thumbdown

This year I trialed 3 different gluten free flours and burned through a gallon of homemade stock to accommodate the special 1/5 of guests. King Aurthur was reputed to be the best, but it just wouldn't brown up like real flour. Tasted meh, finished blond.

Each and every gluten free dessert item sucked. Nobody has celiac. "Don't put the regular rolls on the same sheet as the GF ones!" Next year gluten phobes are getting a thimbleful of jus and I'm making shit that tastes good. Fucking sick of this shit. /rant

I added red wine and turkey stock to the drippings and reduced it. Then I put it in a gravy separator, added the fat back and some flour to make a roux and then slowly added back the liquid and reduced. Salt.

Pretty much the same way I do chicken gravy.
 
All thanksgiving food sucks ass. Seriously don't get why everyone is so hyped up about it. You only eat it once a year for a reason, it sucks

A properly roasted turkey is delicious. Good mashed potatoes are delicious. If your food sucks it's because it's poorly prepared :)

It's all slop, all looks like prison food. A plate of thanksgiving food looks like a paint color sample strip of greys and browns


Turkey is the only acceptable food but people cook it whole once a year and never get it perfect

You need to express your feelings more. Tell us how you really feel.

Seriously, you should have my turkey. It's like crack.
 
Wow. Some people are eating at the wrong place.

Also, gravy is a roux. Roux = fat + flour, browned. Pretty much any edible fat will work. So, burnt flour paste, pretty much.
 
I went to a buffet, I took one small piece of turkey out of tradition, but went back for seconds on the prime rib, it was quite good....
