I too had no drippings, but I absolutely loved the idea of pureeing the vegetables. Excellent gravy, Johnney!

I made several modifications to the recipe and it was great. First, I made the stock a couple of days in advance, we deep fry our turkey- no drippings - I used chicken dripppings instead. Then I just reheated the stock and followed the remaining directions on Christmas. I plan on making this again....

I know little about gravy, but this stock really helped up my knowledge. I used this stock to loosen the drippings in my Thanksgiving turkey pan and then thickened with flour and water to make a final gravy. I did not actually do the puree of the veggies I'm sure it makes a thick sauce -- more healthy than with more butter ;-). I just felt that the veggies had probably given all their flavor at that point. I was much happier with this stock than using canned chicken stock to make this gravy, and I think it went farther than the same amount of gravy made with canned. Turkey wings are cheap too ;-)
