to "fix" the color of a gravy that's too light, add the tiniest drop of "kitchen bouquet"-and be careful! it's a vegetable concentrate, and makes beef gravy look deep and rich. and if the color is just too "white", add a teeeeeny drop of yellow food coloring to it, and stir. you can deepen flavors with soup concentrate or boullion cubes, too--i dissolve them in 1/4 cup of water, and just add drizzles and taste. if you have time for the wonderful turkey wings gravy recipe i see here, try oven browning them, or browning them in a frying pan, just to get color, before you toss them in the water. it brings out a deeper color and flavor, too. good luck--there's always the good ol' jar for standby!

That's exactly how I make gravy when I haven't roasted a turkey. It's very good and everyone loves it. It wins big over the store bought jars or cans! I pick the chicken off the wings and put that into my gravy too.

If you use the Heinz in a jar or a mix for your gravy, always put it in a bowl with a lid, so it does not spill. Don't take it in the jar--and it is your secret recipe! I really love the homemade gravy, even though it is a lot of trouble to make. I think it is worth it, but if you don't have time to practice first, use your "secret recipe!'

Another idea, one we're doing since I'm smoking a turkey and our neighbor is making the gravy -- Wednesday I'm bringing the giblet pack from the turkey over to her place -- she'll make gravy from those.
