Instructions

Notes
- If you need extra gravy, in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, cook 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons flour and ¼ teaspoon of poultry seasoning until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ to 2 cups of turkey or chicken broth, whisking after each addition.
- Consistency: If your gravy is too thick, add water or chicken/turkey broth a little bit at a time to reach the desired consistency. If it's too thin, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, drizzle into simmering gravy until thickened—you may not need all of it.
- Mushrooms: Sauteed mushrooms or canned mushrooms (drained) great additions to the gravy.
- If desired, replace the bread with leftover mashed potato patties. Combine 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes and 2 eggs. Form into 4 patties and fry in butter or olive oil until crisp on each side.
