For an even deeper flavor, roast turkey wings or drumsticks separately and use the resulting stock for the gravy. If you don't have celery salt, you can substitute it with a pinch of celery seed. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable stock instead of turkey stock and add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a savory, umami flavor. To avoid lumps, make sure the slurry is completely smooth before adding it to the hot stock. If lumps do form, strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve. Gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

May 5, 2023I used cornstarch instead of flour to make it gluten-free, and it worked great! No one could even tell the difference.

Dec 2, 2022I added a little bit of sage and thyme to the poultry seasoning, and it gave the gravy an extra layer of flavor.
