Thanksgiving - my favorite holiday

Nov. 20, 2006
Categorized in: Personal

The beginning of THE holiday season is usually viewed with eager anticipation.  For me, it all starts on Thanksgiving Thursday.

In a time where there is so much pain and suffering in the world, it's nice to stop and take a moment to reflect on all the beauty that surrounds us and give thanks.  I have so many things to be grateful for in my life and although I am thankful every day, Thanksgiving gives me the opportunity to share those thoughts with the people I love.

In the spirit of sharing,  I found a really good recipe for turkey gravy and it is posted below.  Let me know what you think

Yum Yum Gravy:
3 1/4 cup turkey stock
1/2 cup butter
6 large shallots, chopped
2 lb fresh mushrooms - brushed clean and sliced
1 tbl chopped fresh thyme*
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 cup heavy (double cream)
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chopped parsley (fresh)*
*works fine with the dried
To make gravy, pour the pan juices into a large measuring pitcher and skim/discard fat and set aside. Pour stock into the roasting pan and place on stove top. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Remove from heat. In a large frying pan over merium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and stir to coat. Add the muschrooms and thyme and saute until the mushrooms just start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute. Add the stock and the pan juices and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the cream and boil, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in parsley
