Garlic and thyme make this simple turkey gravy extra flavorful and the perfect accompaniment to your Thanksgiving feast!
I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away. You better believe I’m counting down the days until we get to cook and feast the day away. I love Thanksgiving!
Gravy is a given on the Thanksgiving menu, but it’s always the last thing we throw together just as we’re setting out the spread, so it needs to be quick and easy. This super simple gravy can be made in just 15 minutes and brings so much flavor to the feast.
Whether it’s a big turkey, a small tenderloin, some mashed potatoes or a soft dinner roll, this gravy goes great with it all! Super simple and so full of flavor.
Happy cooking and feasting! Enjoy!

can i make this the day before and heat it up ?
Yes! If it gets too thick, just whisk in a little more turkey or chicken stock until it’s of desired consistency. Enjoy!
