Turkey gravy is a savory sauce traditionally served in American and European cuisine, especially during holiday meals like Thanksgiving. Typically made from turkey drippings, broth, and thickened with flour or cornstarch, it boasts a rich, comforting flavor. Additional seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs like thyme enhance its taste. While turkey gravy can provide some nutritional benefits—such as minerals from the turkey juices and protein from broth—its health profile depends on preparation. Traditional recipes may be high in sodium and fat, particularly if butter or cream is added. Lower-fat versions, using reduced-sodium broth and alternative thickeners, are available for those seeking a healthier option. Turkey gravy’s warmth and richness make it a quintessential complement to roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, adding depth and moisture to these classic dishes.
