Turkey gravy is a savory sauce traditionally made from the drippings of roasted turkey, combined with flour or cornstarch for thickening, and enhanced with broth, butter, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, and herbs. Originating in Western cuisine, particularly American and European culinary traditions, turkey gravy is a staple during holiday meals like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its rich flavor complements turkey and other side dishes, delivering warmth and depth to the plate. While turkey gravy provides protein from the natural turkey juices, its health profile depends on the preparation. Gravy made with excess butter or fatty drippings can be high in calories and saturated fats, while lighter versions using lean broth and minimal added fat are lower in calories. Moderation is key when enjoying turkey gravy as part of a balanced meal.
