Turkey gravy
Gravy can make or break a roast dinner - and this recipe makes it! No gravy powder required, this delicious gravy is helped on its way by a good stock, a generous slosh of wine and the meat juices of a lovely stuffed turkey recipe (https://cookpad.com/uk/recipes/319690-roast-turkey-with-festive-stuffing). I hope you like it :-)

Cooking Instructions

1
When you buy the turkey, ask the butcher to put the neck and giblets in another bag and put them in the fridge. When you are ready to make the gravy (you can do it while the turkey is roasting or you can make the stock the day before and leave it in the fridge), put them in a pan with the vegetables and the bayleaf and when it starts to boil, cover, turn heat down to minimum and leave to simmer for an hour and a half.

Strain the liquid into a smaller saucepan (you can use the other ingredients for your pet dog's Christmas Dinner if you have one!). Add the stock cube at this stage if you are going to use one. This is where you either transfer to an airtight container, leave to cool and put in the fridge for tomorrow OR carry on.
