Quick Turkey Gravy

We all know that gravy can make or break a holiday meal.  Our recipe is not only foolproof, but it’s delicious and easy too!   Using the turkey drippings delivers on the turkey flavor while Swanson broth adds rich and savory notes.  Onion, poultry seasoning and thyme round out the flavor.   Be sure to allow the flour to cook slowly in the drippings until golden brown.  The slow browning helps to develop the flavor and will give you richer tasting gravy.
