Create your own simple make ahead Chicken or Turkey Gravy mix to have on hand for fast, lump free, delicious gravy in under 3 minutes.
Gravy mix range in price from .79¢- $1.99 at the store, depending on the brand you choose, but almost all of them contain freaky ingredients including Corn Syrup Solids, Disodium inosinate, guanylate, and Hydrolyzed soy. Quite frankly, I don’t want any of those things in my body.
I do, however, like the convenience of having gravy mixes on hand, particularly during the busy workweek when we’re struggling to get a decent meal on the table after a long stressful day at work.
So, we simply created our own homemade gravy convenience mix. The addition of poultry seasoning to the mix gives it a burst of herbs and seasonings that enhance the dish.
