[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My gravy separated despite my best efforts.  I should have used less of the drippings; the flavor was way too intense.

But the turkey was fabulous.  We brine and roast at 500 and it comes out perfect.

My gravy separated and it had a layer of seasoning that just sort of sank to the bottom and wouldn't mix in with the gravy.  So it was pretty gross.

I never, ever make gravy so I have no idea what I'm doing in that regard but I just googled that Martha Stewart first time Thanksgiving menu and there are directions for making gravy from the pan drippings.  What I should have done but didn't do was pour the gravy through a sieve to get rid of any solids. Then I should have skimmed off the fat.  And the good stuff left is what you make gravy out of.  I will try this next time.  Thank goodness I had a jar of gravy on hand and it was alright in a pinch.  But it bums me out that the pan juices from that delicious turkey went to waste like that. Oh well...next time.[/quote]
