🎄 Day 19 — Turkey Gravy Mix (25 Days of Simple)

December 19, 2025

Saving dry birds since forever.

Gravy is the quiet hero of the holiday table.
It pulls everything together—your turkey, your mashed potatoes, your stuffing, even those rolls you swore you wouldn’t dip (but absolutely will).

But here’s the thing: most store-bought gravy packets are packed with preservatives, artificial flavors, and ingredients you can’t pronounce. And homemade gravy, while delicious, can feel intimidating—especially when you’re juggling a dozen other dishes.

Enter: Turkey Gravy Mix.


A simple, shelf-stable, whole-food dry mix you can prep now and keep on hand all season long.
No lumps. No stress. No fuss.
Just rich, savory, pourable perfection in minutes.

  1. Instant holiday magic — stir, simmer, done.
  2. Whole-food ingredients — no MSG, fillers, or mystery powders.
  3. Perfect for gifting — ideal for hostess baskets or holiday care packages.
  4. Never run out of gravy again — and honestly, that’s the dream.
  5. Versatile — works for turkey, chicken, roasted veggies, or pot pies.

Dry Mix Ingredients

Mix all ingredients and place in an airtight jar for up to 6 months.


🍗 To Make the Gravy

You’ll Need:

  • ¼ cup Turkey Gravy Mix
  • 2 cups turkey drippings or chicken broth
  • 1–2 tbsp butter (optional but heavenly)

Instructions:

  1. Heat the broth: Add your broth or drippings to a saucepan and warm over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the mix: Slowly add ¼ cup Turkey Gravy Mix, whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
  3. Simmer: Allow to simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Finish: Stir in butter for extra richness.
  5. Taste + adjust: Add more salt or pepper to taste.

This creates a silky, savory gravy that tastes like it simmered all day—without you having to babysit a pan of drippings.


🍽️ Our Favorite Ways to Use It

  • Over leftover turkey sandwiches
  • Poured on mashed potatoes (obviously)
  • As a sauce for chicken, veggies, or meatballs
  • Thickened further for pot pie filling
  • In place of canned condensed gravy in recipes

🎁 Simple Gifting Idea

Fill a jar with the mix, add a sprig of rosemary, and attach a tag:

“Just add broth for perfect holiday gravy — no dry turkey allowed.”

This one is especially loved by new cooks, busy mamas, and anyone hosting a last-minute holiday dinner.


✨ Final Thoughts

Day 19 is here to prove that comfort food doesn’t need to be complicated.
