[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave up on real mashed potatoes a few years ago.  I buy the packaged ones from Costco.  They are the only ones I could find that used real butter and not a ton of other unwanted ingredients.

I also make my gravy ahead of time. I was not very good at making gravy when I first started hosting and the stress of making it right before serving the meal always drove me nuts.  For a few years I roasted turkey legs or a small turkey breast a few days before.  But even before that, when I was making the gravy with the actual drippings that day, I could never get the gravy flavorful enough for me.   So now I do something people might think is sacrilegious.  I make a chuck roast a few days before and combine those drippings with the ones from a chicken or turkey parts.  It always turns out a very flavorful gravy.  So my secret ingredient in my gravy that my family loves is beef drippings  :lol: [/quote]

Totally makes sense to make the gravy ahead and not just use the turkey bastings. My turkey drippings are always too salty from my dry brine.

I’ll never understand buying mashed potatoes. They are so easy to make in advance and can easy be nuked in the microwave before serving. [/quote]
