Gravy is one of those classic holiday recipes that is a staple for your table but everybody also always has their own way of doing it!
We always kept our gravy pretty simple, and that’s what I have always loved about it…
Giblets, stock, salt, pepper, celery, onion, a can of soup, some flour and a whole lotta time…
Start with your turkey giblets….
Cover them with stock and then double that amount…
I add the onion first and let it simmer for awhile….
Then I throw the celery in! I like to add the celery a bit later…no rhyme or reason to it…my mom always has, so did my grandmother…so that’s how I do it too…
