Make the most delicious gravy from scratch

[@davidf2281]

Using red wine or white wine instead of alcohol is my favourite cooking tip EVER.

[@jhdore]

Keith Floyd confirms.

[@Tvaikah]

...Both of those are alcohol.

I came to the comments looking for this. My respect to you!

[@peterdoe2617]

Great recipe! We have a deer farm around the corner (Münster Hof in Ellrhoop, Germany). They used to sell bones (not on the official list) for 3€ a kilo. I once made a jus from that. A gamechanger!

[@pompeyexileuk205]

Fantastic Job! That looks lush! Oh, and at last a chef who actually scrapes everything out of a pan.

[@pavlinpetkov8984]

Nice. I will make this. Cheers from Bulgaria. Love how youtube is expanding my culinary skills.

[@FantasyTom53]

Seems like a bloody good gravy to me! Good job, I'm hungry now.

[@mipl4369]

Congrats on your first 50k subs.Many more to come I think.

[@paulphillips3783]

Now that looks delicious. Is there a reason why don't you deglaze the pan you cooked the turkey in with a bit of brandy as well - to get all the flavour off into the gravy? Merry Christmas!

[@matthewwhelan2101]

using a stock to make a stock! like it :)

[@kevcroft2815]

If the gravy and roast potatoes are right then the whole Christmas dinner will be perfect. This looks delicious.

[@poppycooks]

STRONG AGREE

[@christianboutell7112]

Hi poppy, that gravy looks so delicious, I'm going to attempt to make it on Christmas eve, looks yummy. ❤🎄💯💥✨️🎊

[@RemiBilodeau]

I can't help but comment. I so laughed when you were handling the giblits. I do the same technique roasting off wings and veg and I add the giblits, touching them as little as possible. Yeah, I would never be able to eat them on their own, but they do add flavour to the gravy.

[@BargainButcher]

Oh the joys of cooking Christmas dinner without the cooker. 😂. Sous vide turkey, beef, gammon, following up with the air fryer spuds. Tempted to light the BBQ to cook it but would probably be frowned upon in winter. . Happy Christmas to you all

[@Coercer2010]

"If you don't want the alcohol use red or white wine" 😂

[@benjaminpolson30]

Amazing as always

[@SolventDonkey]

That looks good, the only problem being that was a lot of work for a one person serving of gravy. 😂

[@geminil2415]

That will be fantastic gravy but I will need at the very least 3 or 4 times as much.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Chicken Bistro best is great but I do make it with less water add chicken bits from the pan and top it with some veggie water, in a pan on the hob. So quick and easy!

[@christianboutell7112]

Congratulations on 50k subscribers, you've got a great channel. 🎉🎄🎊👍🎄🎊🎊

[@limeBlender]

Having yummo duck for Xmas dinner. I’m going to give this gravy a go!

[@keviny1936]

I use an Instant Pot on Slow Cooker Low setting and let it run for 18 hours or so to get all the flavor out.

[@horsenuts1831]

I use my Instant Pot on the pressure cooker setting. I prefer to use an entire chicken carcass and as many air-fried wings as I can squeeze in. I also allow them to cool a bit so I can pull them apart to expose the tendons. And then I pressure cook it for three hours on high before straining and reducing by 75%.

[@robellett8156]

I do too but a also on pressure cook. It really gets the flavour out of the bones

[@IntoTheWhite04]

Made mine on Saturday... Similar rexipe from another tv chef... added a star anise... Is always extremly handy...

[@daled4191]

Nice gravy recipe! I usually cut the turkey wings off day before and roast them with the neck, saves me having to buy loads of chicken wings!

[@lead111]

Cant believe you only made one portion of gravy from that entire roasting tray

[@andyleighton6969]

If I was thinking at the start that my stock was maybe a bit too salty, and was then going to reduce it by two thirds......I think a "sacrificial" halved spud might be in order, to pick up some of the salt

[@jhdore]

“If you take the time to make good gravy it will take the time to pleasure you….” - Saucy! But entirely correct!

[@hoilst265]

I trust that accent implicitly when it comes to roasted meats and gravy.

[@robertshaer6603]

Looks fab - think I’d need to do this 12 times for the big day though as we consume gravy by the litre in our house 😂

[@samuelsnowden8831]

How much gravy does this make? This looks incredible...just want to make sure I make enough!!

[@broshmosh]

This is sort of one of those "how long is a piece of string?" questions. It makes as much as you need. It all depends how much liquid you have before you thicken it. To me this looks like a 2-3 person serving. If you need more than this, honestly, follow the video as-is until the point where you add the cornflour. Then if you need more, add chicken stock until you have enough for your table. The majority of the gravy flavour is coming from what's already in there, but more servings requires more liquid, so chicken stock provides this without changing too much of the flavour. Then, since you've added additional liquid, you'll need additional thickener. How much is up to you and your guests. For a litre of gravy (4-6 people), you might need a tablespoon of cornflour to get a good viscosity. If you want it thicker, 1.5tbsp. You can't remove cornflour though, so make sure you heat thoroughly after every addition to activate the starch and judge thickness, so you don't add too much and end up with wallpaper paste.

[@samuelsnowden8831]

@ legend! This would have been my assumption but I’m glad you’ve backed me up!

[@petricaangold5000]

I would have added a bit of water to the turkey tray at the end and scraped it around to get the rest of that goodness out 😊

[@mickingle]

Brilliant. Enjoyed watching this. Although be honest, you would normally have had a bottle of red wine doing this. I know i would

[@robclaridge6236]

Would a splash of ale work? It's my go to on a slow cooked stew.

[@Tvaikah]

Obviously, yes.

[@davidcorless5581]

I USE BEEF OR CHICKEN STOCK WHEN I MAKE MY GRAVY AND I LIKE MY GRAVY NICE AND THICK.

[@Juls27989]

Love your video's, just found you. Is there any chance of you showing how to do a nice cauliflower cheese please ? 🍽😋👌

[@patbone7941]

You may have heard the dinner stories of supermarket Christmas turkey's, on Christmas day, being rotten and smelling. Even though the sell by date is after Christmas. Would you recommend freezing the turkey/ goose/ duck as soon as you get it home and starting the defrosting Christmas eve. Here in my home area, we have a farmers market in the 1st week (ish) of December. Great deals on meat. Thats why I'm asking about freezing 😊 Love your show, even at 3am, when you torture me with gravy.😂

[@Psylaine64]

will take 2-3 days to defrost so xmas eve will be too late! ... I'd defrost at the weekend and maybe even cook the turkey on Christmas eve so it can rest ..its easy to warm back up in the gravy or just a little stock.

[@Tvaikah]

Sell-by dates are irrelevant to spoilage. That date's for the store. It says 'Get this out of here by this date so we can move new product into its space.' But obviously if you've bought the meat well in advance, freeze it. One day isn't enough time to thaw though. Also, spatchcock the bird (cut out its spine and split the breastbone, lay it flat). That massive cavity in the turkey really plays hell with the heat distribution. Spatchcocked cooks way faster and without all the fuss of checking in on it repeatedly. 12-pounder cooked in an hour, easy. Brine the bird too, a day or two in advance. No need for basting then to keep it moist and the meat will be seasoned. Bonus: Reheating in the brine to warm leftovers essentially makes a turkey broth you can use which over time reduces to a gravy. Nothing wasted, all delicious.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thanks.

[@Ronof9]

Just watched this - Brilliant and Funny, Never cooked before, but on a 'quim' have decided to cook Christmas Dinner, you added a little bit of stock to the tray after frying on the hob / deglazing / using the smallest lighter possible to add Poppy's 'finger-flavour', then added the rest of the jug of stock (750 ml?), to the saucepan, At Step 5 you then added another jugful of liquid, was this stock or just water in the jug you had just used?

[@robellett8156]

I'm sorry if I offend but "on a quim". This is so funny!

[@grizmba]

You are such an amazing young lady... love your videos

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Gravy in a beautiful gravy boat? LFG 👏🏽

[@caynidar6295]

I see recipes more like this quote from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, "The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules.” As long as you're following food safety rules, you can do what you want and try stuff out to find variations that work for you. Like Poppy's Christmas dauphinoise from her last video!

[@KeithChegwin24]

Instead of alchohol we can use wine? 😂

[@kevcroft2815]

😂

[@martinjb55]

In the video she said you can.👍

[@stephenbrown321]

Wow! That’s a brilliant idea. Why am I only just finding out about this?!?

[@ianwesterby3345]

How many servings does this make Poppy?

[@philt5782]

LOL. I was saying to myself about the chicken wings. I'd have eaten them and chucked the left overs in the pan.

[@markvincent5241]

That gravy looks absolutely filthy. Definitely gonna have a crack at that, thanks Poppy.

Doesn't the liver make things taste bitter as it will cook faster than other items? Just curious,not criticising.

Yeah sounds impossible, yet with Maria Luisa Clare, I've come to the conclusion that financially anything is possible. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend and a whooping $320k in savings already, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in debt then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Maria L Clare is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

[@dptcalif]

Wow 😱 I know her too! Miss Maria Luisa Clare is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.

I got started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH!!
