Gravy Recipes That Tie The Whole Thanksgiving Meal Together

Best not forget.

Everything Thanksgiving: Get all our Thanksgiving recipes, how-to’s and more !

Come Thanksgiving , all anyone can talk about is the turkey , the sides and the pies . (We know because we’re guilty of it, too.) But that means we’re all forgetting about one of the most important parts of the meal: the gravy.

The gravy might not feel as special as any of the other dishes because it isn’t as substantial, but think about what this meal would be like without a generous drizzle of this good sauce on top of your plate. Sad, that’s what it would be. 

While gravy is almost always the last thing prepared on the big day since most people use the turkey pan drippings to make it that doesn’t mean it should be an afterthought. Make gravy special this year, and see how quickly that upgrades your whole Thanksgiving.

These are the recipes you need to make that happen.

A sharpening whetstone(03 of04)

Whetstones (also known as sharpening stones or water stones) are the preferred tool for sharpening knives because they give you, the cook, complete control. Sharpening stones are basically long, rectangular blocks of composite stone, typically with a coarse grit on one side and a fine grit on the other side. Read our guide to learn how to use one.

A honing steel(04 of04)

Most people confuse a honing steel with a sharpener. Its a ridged metal wand that you run your knife across (youve probably seen flashy cooking show contestants dramatically swiping them through the air like swashbucklers with swords.) While a honing steel does help a knife slice better, it doesnt actually sharpen the blade. Rather, it re-aligns the microscopic teeth on your knife's blades that get out of alignment through daily use, making your knife feel sharper. It's an everyday must-have! (credit:Amazon)
