Hi All.
Hope you are all well and staying safe
For this years Christmas lunch I am cooking turkey and as part of that I am making turkey gravy. This in the main consists of a gravy based on:-
The giblets
chicken stock
cider
tomatoes
Rosmary
Turkey juices
onion
crispy bacon
Lemon
This gravy usually works out really well and I cook it as the turkey is resting. I know you would all know that when the turkey is resting a lot of other cooking is still going on which means things are hectic!!!
So I intend to make this on Christmas Eve (except for the turkey juices) but then add the turkey juices on the day. These juices of course include fat from the turkey which I drain off
My question to the forum is considering time is on my time on Christmas Eve I could make the gravy as per usual which takes around 30 minutes of frying / boiling or alternatively I could really slowly fry and boil the gravy over say a couple of hours (a bit like a tradtional soup I suppose)
I would appreciate thoughts on which method is likely to give a more tasty result
Many thanks
