turkey gravy

Thanksgiving dinner topping

Turkey gravy is a sauce made from turkey drippings, stock, and thickener, served over turkey and side dishes at holiday meals.

The drippings from a roasted turkey form the base, combined with flour or cornstarch to create body: The turkey gravy was lumpy this year.

It's central to Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, ladled over sliced meat, mashed potatoes, and stuffing.
