Gravy For Turkey – A Thanksgiving Necessity
You’ve got your roasted turkey and ham resting on the countertop. You’ve got piping-hot sweet potatoes and buttery stuffing in the oven… and creamy mashed potatoes on the stovetop. What are you missing? That’s right, turkey gravy. What would Thanksgiving dinner be (or any holiday meal for that matter) without rich silky gravy to drizzle over the top? It would be blah, that’s what. Like an ice cream sundae with no cherry on top or a plate of chocolate chip cookies with no milk for dipping. A holiday meal with no gravy is just wrong, nearly sinful. You’ve spent hours building a custom car, but have no key to start the ignition, you see what I’m getting at? Let’s not make that mistake this year. A gorgeous buttery Apple Cider Turkey Gravy Recipe with apple flavor bursting through is just moments away.
