battlemaiden Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I will have 13 adults and 18 kids over for thanksgiving. I was going to try and cook the turkeys the day before (I've read how to store the meat properly), but can I make the gravy the day before? Making the gravy is the always the last thing I do before the meal and it makes me rushed. It would be great to do it before, but it seems reheated gravy isn't quite the same. Would you agree? Thanks. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 IME (and I'll concede that I'm not the world's best gravy maker) it gets really thick overnight and may need to be thinned down with some broth or milk when reheated. On a side note, I worked at KFC when I was in high school and I LOVED the chicken gravy the next day with biscuits. Maybe just get some gravy from KFC?

amyco Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I agree, reheated leftover gravy is thicker, so you'll probably want to thin it down with more broth. Otherwise you should be fine! And good for you for cutting down on your stress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yes...if you are making the turkey the day before, you can also make the gravy then from the pan drippings. As the pp said, you may need to thin it a little when you warm it up, but we like thick gravy here and it comes out fine once it's warmed up.
