There are a lot of reasons why it’s not always possible to make a gravy using drippings.

Most often, it’s because of the method used to cook your meat, like with deep-fried or smoked turkeys, which don’t leave you any yummy juices to start a hearty gravy. But other times, it’s because of time constraints, when you still want all that savoury flavour without the hours of cooking required. Regardless of why you might find yourself in need of a dripping-less gravy, we’re here to solve your gravy woes!

It’s so quick and easy, and oh-so-flavourful, you’ll be trying to find even more ways to use this gravy! And the cool thing about this recipe? It doesn’t congeal as it cools! With the absence of the natural fats and oils that are released and concentrated in drippings, your gravy is smooth and rich, without that thick jelly consistency, which makes reheating a breeze! Slather it over your meat and potatoes and dig in!
