A rich, savory turkey gravy is an essential part of any Thanksgiving feast. It adds moisture and incredible flavor to turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and more. But making gravy from scratch can be time consuming and tricky to get just right. That’s why I always rely on Jennie-O’s easiest turkey gravy recipe. With only 3 simple ingredients, it comes together in under 15 minutes while tasting like you spent all day simmering stock and roux on the stovetop. This gravy recipe is my holiday hero!
Jennie-O to the Rescue
As America’s #1 turkey brand Jennie-O certainly knows a thing or two about how to make delicious turkey gravy. Their gravy starts with an all-natural turkey base which provides the rich, savory turkey flavor you expect from homemade. To this, they add a bit of kick from roasted red pepper salsa and freshness from cilantro. The result is a gravy that’s ready in a fraction of the time but tastes as flavorful and comforting as the from-scratch version.
Jennie-O really simplified turkey gravy without sacrificing an ounce of taste Their easy recipe has become my go-to every Thanksgiving because it frees up so much time and still impresses my guests I love that I can focus on preparing other parts of the meal instead of hovering over the stove making gravy.

Jennie-O’s gravy recipe comes together in just a few easy steps:

Turkey Gravy Tips
Jennie-O makes gravy foolproof, but here are some tips for taking it to the next level:
-
For a thinner gravy, add more water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
-
For even more flavor, use turkey stock instead of plain water when preparing the gravy.
-
Simmer the gravy gently once the ingredients are added to allow the flavors to mingle.
-
Try different salsas like peach salsa or mango salsa for a fruitiness twist.
-
Swap out cilantro for different fresh herbs like thyme, sage, or rosemary.
-
Make extra for leftovers – this gravy keeps well refrigerated for 4-5 days.
