PROS

This homemade turkey gravy is incredibly flavorful and contains fewer preservatives than canned gravies.

It is easy to make and can be customized to your personal taste preferences.

Using turkey fat instead of butter enhances the turkey flavor in the gravy.

CONS

This recipe takes a bit more time and effort than using premade gravy.

It requires that you have already roasted a turkey and have drippings available.

If not done properly, the gravy can end up lumpy.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This gravy recipe can be part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation due to its high fat content.
However, turkey fat has been linked to containing nutrients such as vitamins B6 and B12, selenium, and niacin.
