Brown Gravy Recipe
This recipe for gravy can be used for making a brown gravy recipe, too. The coloring for your gravy comes basically from the liquid you’re using. So with milk we’re going to have a white gravy. If you want to make this a ‘brown’ gravy then you can substitute beef broth for milk (but you’ll lose some of the creaminess!). Or you can change the hue of the gravy by simply adding Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master Browning. Both are available at most all grocery stores. You don’t need much. Just a tad, then work from there to achieve the hue that you want.

Best Turkey Recipe
Now the best turkey recipe for gravy means using the broth and liquid from the cooked turkey as well as when you cook the gizzards, neck, and livers of the turkey. The broth that is made from boiling these inner parts of the bird add immense flavor to your gravy, plus you’ll have more of a brown hue with both liquids. I also love to finely chop the livers and gizzards and put in the finished gravy. It’s another layer of flavor.
Sausage and Gravy Recipe
Nothing is more tasty than sausage and gravy. And, the way to make this is to crumble and fry your sausage (Jimmy Dean’s sage is the best!) in the skillet. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crumbles. Add some butter to the sausage drippings, then proceed with my recipe. Once your gravy is creamy and thick, add the crumbled cooked sausage and spoon over toast or biscuits! Good Southern eats for sure!
How to Make Turkey Gravy from Scratch
Once you have mastered this recipe for gravy, you’ll have no problem with making your turkey gravy from scratch. Just use the turkey liquid drippings instead of milk, and you have an amazing turkey gravy for your dressing and mashed potatoes! If you want your gravy darker then use the Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master Browning.
