GO to the store, like NOW (before they run out of it) and buy some packaged McCormick (or other) Turkey Gravy mix.

USE 1/4 cup turkey pan drippings (the JUICE..skim off most of the fat)..and 3/4 cup water...for EACH package of Turkey gravy you open. IOW's you are just substituting some of the water with your drippings :) Tastes home-made! I use at least 3 packages of gravy mix.

Now, in case the gravy is too thin..on the side, simply dissolve a couple of tablespoons of Cornstarch in about half-cup water (it will be like milk)..Then as the gravy is GENTLY boiling in the pot..add a just a "little cornstarch "whisk until it gets to your desired thickness..No lumps!

Go easy on the cornstarch because it gets thick with just a small amount, so give it time to thicken.

But if it gets too thick, just add some water...sw
