I was unable to locate a post-Christmas ham chowder recipe that began by slowly simmering the ham-bone scraps. To make this slow cooker ham bone potato soup, I combined concepts from a number of successful recipes.

I used chicken broth with the fat/drippings and it was excellent. Absolutely perfect results. So relieved………..
Bought a roasted turkey Breast at the deli for sandwiches. It was so big, I had lots left over, decided to have turkey & dressing for dinner, but had no gravy! Found this recipe, subbed butter for turkey fat, but had enough liquid at the bottom of the tray for the drippings, used chicken stock & my husband, who “doesn’t eat gravy” had 2 helpings. Enough said
amazing!!!!!
Easy and delicious. I follow recipe but was slightly shy on turkey fat so used bacon grease to complete the 1/2 cup.
I’m a first time “gravy maker”, but a very long time gravy eater. This was extremely simple and tasted very good. The only change I made (because I had to) was to use chicken stock in place of turkey stock. I will make this again.
Great last minute gravy, taste good??!
So simple but be cautious of the turkey roasting recipe you use. I made this gravy from drippings from my son inlaw’s turkey he roasted using bacon and olive oil so the gravy had those flavors incorporated. Still all in all was delicious!
This gravy was awesome! I cooked my turkey in a bag and when it came out of the oven, I took a ladle and skimmed off the fat and some of the juices into a saucepan. Brought it to a boil and whisked in the half cup of flour. It started to get really thick and clumpy but then I stirred in 3 cups of the turkey drippings (I had added a can of chicken broth to the bird prior to cooking) brought it to a boil, while stirring constantly and it thickened up and tasted fantastic! Loved it and will make it every year from now on!
I’m not a big gravy fan but this is so easy and everyone seems to like it!
Simple and so good! The best turkey gravy we’ve had and it reheated perfectly days later.
Loved this recipe and was pleasantly surprised by how easy delicious gravy is to make.
Easiest gravy recipe I’ve found!!
This recipe worked a like a magic trick! I’d roasted turkeys before, but never made gravy. My turkey didn’t produce the half-cup of fat drippings, so I started with half a cup of butter and half a cup of flour. Whisk, whisk, whisk. After 5 minutes I tasted it, and it was floury-tasting, so I cooked it a little longer, still floury. Well, time was running short, had to proceed, so I added 2 cups of my turkey stock and the cup of pan drippings. Dear husband took a turn with whisking, then I finished, and IT TURNED INTO GRAVY! It was absolutely delicious, and it was all gone at the church Thanksgiving potluck. I AM A GRAVY-MAKER! (Thanks to you!)
