Recipe Notes
- I used reduced sodium stock. You can use turkey, chicken or vegetable stock. Homemade is the best.
- Cornstarch is my go-to for making sauces and gravies because of its fine texture. It will also make a clear gravy, not cloudy like flour can. Always whisk cornstarch with cold (or room temperature) liquid before adding to hot mixture. Thanks to cornstarch, this gravy is also gluten-free!
- You can prepare this gravy the day before, store it in the fridge and reheat the next day. It will thicken as it cools, so you may need to add a tablespoon or two of stock or water during reheating.
