Turkey Gravy

[sherrardk]

Looking for recommendations for ready-made turkey gravy. We have the usual suspect supermarkets, but no Waitrose. Thanks.

Never tried it but...

Yuk. The Mand S one has turkey bones in it!

[Mamyalynne]

You do use bones to make stocks for gravies, but as Sherr is having Turkey Crown she wants a pre prepared one.

I would expect a stock to involve bones!!!!

I'm pretty sure I have read a review of Christmas stuff, including gravy. I'll have a look and let you know what I find.

[sherrardk]

Actually, it's because I can't make gravy :(

[Tilly2]

Snap, sher. Neither can I.

[Mamyalynne]

There's always Ketchup....

legs it !!

[puzzled54]

I just wouldn't expect bones to be listed, as surely they are not in the finished product.

[sherrardk]

Lashings of ketchup will be available.

[Tilly2]

Now, I didn't say that!

[Mamyalynne]

Ingredients listed are what has gone into making the product.

I make Jamie Oliver's Christmas gravy, do it beforehand and bung it in the freezer til I need it. It is a lot of faffing about though, but tastes nice.

I used to buy Tesco turkey gravy but the taste changed and wasn't as nice.

The M&S one will probably be nice but would cost me about £12 for us lot.

[sherrardk]

The gravy is only for himself and thing 1, no one else likes it

[Mamyalynne]

Would there be enough flavoursome stock from a crown for a made gravy ?? I have no clue, we always had rib of beef - a simple fillet steak for little me this year.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh just get a tub then, sorted.

[Tilly2]

I'm sure there must be a Bisto one. They do pork and lamb and beef and chicken. I know this from my larder.

It's funny, you know. I buy outdoor reared and free range meat and then cover it in chemicals when I serve it.

[sherrardk]

Might treat them to the M & S one then (but I will do everything else myself (unless I see a really good deal on pre-cleaned veg) and I will make the Yorkies myself).

My mother and grandmother made turkey gravy from the giblets. There were bones involved with the giblets (the neck, I think) but the bones are not the be-all and end-all of the stock. If you don`t buy a turkey with giblets, then you can`t get a really decent gravy. Sainsbury`s do one which is supposed to be OK although I haven`t tried it.

[sherrardk]

Seriously, even if I could make gravy I wouldn't be spending time faffing about with bones and innards.
