Cooking Notes
If you mix in some basting juices from your cooked turkey, you’ll add a bit more home cooked flavor. Try to separate as much of the fat from the juices, or you might make the gravy a bit oily.
While we love the taste of homemade gravy, sometimes time isn’t on our side. Last year, we opted for TJ’s boxed gravy and it left us satisfied, but craving a bit more of a home-cooked flavor. This year, when we saw this “Kettle Cooked” option, we were definitely intrigued.
Unfortunately though, we were disappointed with this gravy. Overall it was too herbaceous – the thyme and tarragon were far too overpowering. It resulted in a one-dimensional flavor that actually seemed to mask the taste of the turkey – as opposed to complementing it.
We tested this gravy along with several side dishes for our Test Thanksgiving dinner: Corn Pudding, Scalloped Potatoes with Quattro Formaggio, Cauliflower Gratin, Carrot Souffle, and Cornbread Stuffing Mix. The result was a delicious meal, but sadly the gravy was a weak point.

Summary : We had high hopes, but sadly we were disappointed with this gravy. The thyme and tarragon were far too overpowering for it to be enjoyable.
