Hello! For turkey gravy, my go-to thickener is definitely flour! It's a classic choice that gives your gravy a smooth and velvety texture. Just make sure to whisk it into your drippings or broth gradually to avoid any lumps. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, cornstarch works like a charm too! It creates a glossy finish and thickens up your gravy beautifully. Whichever you choose, just remember to taste as you go and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Happy gravy making!

I think incorporating mashed potatoes into your turkey gravy can add both thickness and richness. Though it might alter the color slightly, it provides a hearty texture and enhances the flavor profile.

The best thickener for turkey gravy is usually a combination of flour and fat (like butter or turkey drippings) cooked together to form a roux, though cornstarch can also be used for a gluten-free option.
