Cream Gravy

Cream Gravy

Perhaps your family likes a rich cream gravy better — or you'd like to try it for the first time this year. Cream gravy made from the drippings of your holiday turkey can be extra special.

Follow these simple directions for an easy way to make good cream gravy.

• Pour fat and meat juices from the meat pan into a 2-cup measuring cup, leaving crusty particles in the pan. Fat will rise to the top of the cup, and meat juices will stay at the bottom.
  
• Skim fat off.
  
• Measure ¼cup fat for 2 cups of gravy, and put measured fat into meat pan.
  
• Add enough milk to the meat juices in cup to make 2 cups and pour into a jar with a screw top.
  
• Measure ¼ cup flour into the jar.
  
• Screw on lid and shake until the ingredients are well mixed.
  
• Pour milk mixture into pan, stirring slowly to blend thoroughly.
  
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy is thickened and bubbly.
  
• Simmer a few minutes.
  
• Salt and pepper to taste and serve in heated gravy boat.
  

Then, of course, there are those, men especially, who will hear of nothing for the bird but giblet gravy, with its wonderful meaty flavor.
