Howdy neighbor! Your Daddy's gravy is excellent! Perfect consistency, the giblets and egg ratio is spot on for the amount of gravy, and the Kitchen Bouquet gave it the right color. I don't boil my giblets I dice them up and fry them well in a little oil. The tasty blackened bits add a lot of flavor. I have my turkey carcass simmering making a rich stock which I will freeze and use at Christmas when I make this again instead of using purchased chicken stock. I bet you a dollar that is going to be some kick butt gravy. I can't find any fault what-so-ever with this recipe. Good stuff.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born in the heart of Tex-Mex, in San Antonio, but I've lived in Dallas most of my adult life, since 1971.
My first career was in information technology but I retired from that and I am now doing general contracting in the construction industry.
Always liked working with my hands, and now I get to do more than I used to. I lived with a girl once upon a time, for almost a year and she gained a pound a month, eating my food. We certainly didn't split up because of my cooking.
My friends and family consider me to be a gourmet cook, but the trick I've learned is to try other people's recipes and then vary with a dash of this or that until it comes out to my own taste.
UPDATE Jan 29, 2008:
Haven't been on here in a while, but I've settled down and I'm now retired, giving my landlady hell and having fun with my grandkids and great-grandkids (4 already and another on the way!) I am now convinced that God created oysters, JUST FOR ME. LOL.
