Make Ahead Turkey Gravy

Cultural Context

Originating from traditional American Thanksgiving meals, turkey gravy is a beloved accompaniment that enhances the flavors of roasted turkey. It symbolizes warmth and family gatherings, often made from the drippings of the turkey itself. In modern kitchens, variations abound, with some opting for vegetarian versions or different flavor profiles, but the classic recipe remains a staple during holiday celebrations.
