Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the onion becomes browned and starts to caramelize. Sprinkle on the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, Cognac, sage leaves, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt (depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock), and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour and strain, pressing the solids lightly and then discarding them.

MAKE-AHEAD DELICIOUS TURKEY GRAVY
I got this recipe from a radio program. Makes Thanksgiving so much easier, and tastier too! This can be a light but creamy sauce, or a thicker, hearty gravy, depending on how you choose to finish it. In either case, it will have a full, rich flavor.

Steps:
- Cut the turkey wing into pieces with a heavy knife. (If using neck and giblets, cut the neck into three or four pieces. Trim the tough membrane from the gizzard. Rinse all neck pieces and giblets, and pat them very dry with paper towels.).
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter, and, when its foaming begins to subside, add the turkey pieces.
- Season with salt and pepper, and sauté over medium heat until golden brown - about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the coarsely chopped vegetables and garlic, season again with salt and pepper, and continue sautéing (add small bits of butter if necessary to prevent scorching) until vegetables begin to color slightly - about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the flour, and continue sauteing, stirring constantly, until the floured vegetables turn brown - about 10 minutes.
- Add the thyme, bay leaves and water to the vegetables, whisking or stirring briskly to incorporate flavors and prevent lumps.
- When the liquid begins to boil, lower the heat and allow to simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the sauce and discard the solids. Reserve the sauce. You should have about 4 cups of sauce.
- *This sauce may be made ahead to this point. It may be served as-is, OR thickened before serving.
- Alternatively, pan drippings may be added before serving and additional thickening may be added at that time.
- TO ADD PAN DRIPPINGS TO GRAVY:.
- Remove the roasted turkey and the cooking rack from the roasting pan; place the pan over two burners on the stove, heat adjusted to medium-high. Pour one cup of dry white wine (or dry vermouth) into the pan and bring the liquid to a simmer. With a wooden spoon or spatula, scrape the pan bottom to loosen the browned bits. Remove the roasting pan from the heat, and strain the liquid into a measuring cup, discarding the solids left in the strainer.
- Allow the liquid in the cup to stand so that the fat separates to the top - then, tilting the measuring cup, skim off the fat with a shallow spoon. Reserve the fat if you intend to thicken the gravy furthur while adding the pan drippings!
- De-fatted pan drippings (in the measuring cup above) may simply be added to the sauce, if no further thickening is desired. Whisk in the drippings, and allow sauce to simmer for a few minutes to develop flavors.
- *TO ADD DRIPPINGS AND ALSO THICKEN THE SAUCE AT THE SAME TIME:.
- Heat 4 tablespoons* of reserved turkey fat in a large saucepan until bubbling, then stir in an equal amount of flour (*use only half this amount of fat and flour if less thickening is desired for a thinner final gravy). Heat and stir the fat and flour mixture until bubbling - about 1 full minute, then gradually whisk in the defatted pan drippings, and finally, whisk in the finished sauce made ahead as described above. Reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer the drippings mixture with the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- NOTE: As the finished gravy is allowed to stand and cool, it will become thicker. To correct gravy that has become too thick, simply re-heat the gravy, adding water, turkey broth or chicken broth until it has thinned to desired consistency. Taste again for seasonings. A good idea: serve gravy in a warmed gravy boat or serving bowl.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons salt, the garlic powder, onion powder, sage and pepper. Use to generously season the turkey wings on all sides and use any extra to season the carrots, celery and onion.
- Place the turkey wings and vegetables in a Dutch oven and bake, uncovered, 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Transfer the Dutch oven to the stovetop on medium-high heat. Add the stock and bay leaves. Use a wooden spoon to break up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the turkey wings and use a mesh strainer to separate the vegetables from the broth. Use a spoon to press out any liquid from the vegetables. Use a gravy fat separator (optional, but I like to do this step because I find the extra fat can cause the gravy to separate) or skim off the excess fat.
- In the same Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until it starts to turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the reserved broth, sherry and Worcestershire. Simmer until it thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. If you have any lumps, pass through a fine mesh sieve. Let cool completely and refrigerate or freeze until use.
- Reheating Instructions: You may need to add a few tablespoons of stock and whisk vigorously to thin out the gravy.
MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY
Cooking Thanksgiving dinner doesn't have to be hectic and stressful. One way I like to make my day easier is to make my gravy ahead. Make our simple homemade turkey stock, then pan roast turkey bones and vegetables to develop a concentrated turkey flavor base. Do not be intimidated by making your own stock. It's a simple step that can make all the difference to elevate and enrich the flavors of your gravy and Thanksgiving dinner. Chopped turkey bones are very gently simmered with aromatic vegetables on the stovetop for hours, resulting in a delicious, rich turkey stock. Turkey bones are cheap and easy to come by around the holidays, but chicken bones or wings are an acceptable substitute. Add your stock and herbs, simmer, thicken, strain and you have gravy! A great make ahead step, and one less thing to worry about when it's time to get dinner on the table.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the turkey wings and cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir, then continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, about 5 more minutes. Add the celery, onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water, the thyme and bay leaves; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
- Add the turkey stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Add the dried mushrooms, if using, and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 30 minutes.
- Mix the butter and flour in a small bowl to make a paste. Stir into the simmering gravy and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large container. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate up to 5 days. Reheat over low heat.
- Combine the turkey wings, carrots, celery, onion and garlic in a large pot. Add 2 gallons cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low or medium low to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Simmer the stock about 4 hours, occasionally skimming any scum that rises to the surface with a spoon. Strain into another pot, discarding the bones and vegetables. Let the stock cool completely. (For faster cooling, set the pot of stock in a large bowl; add enough ice water to the bowl to come about halfway up the sides of the pot and let cool, stirring the stock occasionally.) Transfer the stock to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
MAKE-AHEAD TURKEY GRAVY
This recipe allows you to have your gravy ready ahead of time so you don't have to be running around at the last minute trying to make gravy. Check and see if your grocery store regularly carries turkey wings - if they don't you may have to ask for them ahead of time. You don't have to peel the onion, carrots, or head of garlic - the peels have extra flavor, and you'll be straining the stock so they will be removed in the end anyway. If I have already bought my turkey when I am making this gravy, I roast the neck with the wings, and add it and the heart, liver and gizzard to the broth. When you strain the broth at the end, save the heart and the gizzard, set aside to cool, and then finely chop them and add to the gravy at the end. I generally don't add the gizzard to the giblet gravy, because I don't like the texture, but I do add it to the stock pot when I am making the stock.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Place wings in a metal roasting pan and brush with the canola oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast wings for 1 hour, turning halfway through. the wings should be golden-brown at the end of the roasting. If they are not, I run them under the broiler for a few minutes until they are browned to my liking.
- While the wings are roasting, Place 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stock pot, and add the onion, carrots, celery and leaves, garlic, thyme, sage, rosemary, peppercorns and bay leaves. Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes and then keep over low heat until you are ready to add the wings.
- When the wings are golden brown, add them to the stock pot. Pour off the drippings from the roasting pan into a degreasing pitcher, and separate the drippings from the grease. Add the drippings to the stock pot, and save the grease.
- Pour the cup of white wine into the roasting pan and place it over high heat on a burner. When the wine is simmering, use a plastic spatula to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat. Pour the wine and any bits into the stock pot.
- Add the 6 cups of low sodium chicken broth to the stock pot, and then add water to cover all the vegetables and wings by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and stir well. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 2 hours.
- Strain the stock (remember to save the giblets if you put them in the stock and you want to make giblet gravy - don't throw them away!) and discard all the solids. Measure how much stock you have - it will probably be around 9 cups, depending on how much water you put in the stock.
- Measure out enough stock for the amount of gravy you want to make, i.e., if you want to make 2 cups of gravy, you measure out 2 cups of stock. you can freeze any extra stock, so you have it for future gravy-making needs.
- For each cup of gravy you want to make, measure 2 tablespoons of grease from the turkey drippings and 2 tablespoons of flour into a large pot. I usually make 4 cups, so I measure 8 tablespoons of grease (if you don't have enough grease add butter to make up the difference) and 8 tablespoons of flour. Cook this roux over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring well with a whisk while you are cooking - don't let it burn.
- Slowly add the stock to the roux, stirring well with a whisk the entire time - this is when lumps form, so you need to add the stock slowly and whisk well the entire time to prevent lumps from forming.
- Simmer the gravy over medium heat until it is thickened and bubbly, usually about 10 minutes.
- Add white vinegar (I add 1/2 teaspoon to 4 cups of gravy) and season to taste with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until you are ready to use (or you could freeze it).
- If you want the gravy to be a darker brown color, add Kitchen Bouquet until the gravy is the color you want it to be.
- When you are ready to use the gravy, reheat it on the stove or in the microwave.

This is a GREAT make ahead gravy, even a day ahead! There is an error in the directions tho.

THE BEST (DO-AHEAD) TURKEY GRAVY
Thought I'd post this recipe I found in the Nov. 2002 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine early (for those who don't suscribe). I have always made my turkey gravy (in large quantities) in advance of cooking Thanksgiving dinner (only so many burners, and limited oven space available on "turkey day"). I'm posting this recipe because I think its better than the one I've used for years, and any "short cut/advanced prep" that frees up oven/burner space on "turkey day" is a big help to me, so I wanted to share it with all my Zaar friends :) This recipe can be prepared up to 3 days in advance of serving, and reheated in the microwave when needed. BTW: Turkey wings can usually be had at a major discount at most supermarkets/butchers prior to the holidays, since they frequently remove the wings when they "package" the breast roasts. Ask your poultry supplier/butcher to put some aside for you ;)
