I gave this recipe 3 stars. This was a good basic gravy. My only complaint was how thin the gravy was. I used this recipe to make turkey gravy for my Thanksgiving dinner. I actually used drippings and broth from my turkey. I didn't add any salt since the turkey recipe used called for salt. Overall I'd make this gravy again with more cornstarch. Thanks for posting a good recipe! Christine (internetnut)

I am a somewhat inexperienced cook, and used this for my first time making gravy. It came out great. My only complaint is that the recipe is somewhat unclear about what it means by "drippings" vs. "fat" vs. "turkey stock." I decided that the 2 tbsp "drippings" really meant just the fat, and the 2 cups of "turkey broth or chicken broth or water" meant the rest of the liquid from the pan plus enough water or additional broth to equal 2 cups. At that ratio, it worked fine with the 2 tbsp of corn starch (another reviewer suggested only using 1 tbsp; I don't know what they did differently, but my gravy was not too thick). Note: the total amount of fat that I got out of my pan was less than 2 tbsp, so I added it all back in. -
This was good, but I'd recommend using only 1 tablespoon cornstarch.

I used water instead of milk. I used two Tablespoons of corn starch and I used poultry seasoning in place of the salt and pepper and this recipe came out perfectly! No lumps!
