I have got so adept with the big spoon that i can do a whole turkey of
pan drippings in just a minute, putting it on a low flame so all the fat
gets pushed to one side of the pot helps also. A turkey gravy made from
the pan drippings, garlic & white wine is de reggae .... chez soi.

Goes very well with the sage and onion bread stuffing.
