This was selected out of all the Zaar turkey gravy recipes posted because my Mother should not have flour. The only problem I had was getting it to thicken up using the cornstarch. I had to add at least 3 times the amount to get it thick. I made as posted so not sure what I did wrong. But the flavor was great! I will be making this again next year. Thanks Bergy for posting.

    I used this recipe as the base for the turkey gravy this Christmas. I added additional onion and left off the shallots and mushrooms due to availability of ingredients as well as personal preference. The stock was chicken stock. I did not have a problem with the gravy thickening with the 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Thanks Bergy.
