directions

  • In a large saucepan, heat the chicken broth and turkey gravy, stirring as it simmers.
  • Add the drippings from the turkey and stir some more.
  • Add 1/4 cup sherry or cognac and reserve the rest. Turn up the heat until your mixture is just at the boiling point.
  • Turn it down to a simmer, and s-l-o-w-l-y add the packets of dry gravy, stirring constantly. Continue to stir to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust gravy at this point if it is too thick or too thin. Add the rest of the cognac or sherry for flavor to your liking.
