This was awful! I couldn't get over the way it smelled and it had way too much pepper. I guess that I like a gravy that is more "comfort food" and less "adventure...try something new food." No one would eat it and at the last minute I had to make my gravy so that we could have some to eat.

This was an ok gravy recipe. I increased the flour as recommended by others, and I felt it was a bit bland, but good for gravy that does not involve pan drippings.

This is a great basic gravy recipe, that's super easy to make, and pretty foolproof. It is too thin for my taste, and I used an extra 2 tbsp of flour for a half recipe. It did thicken up at the table, though, and the flavor was really nice.

Tasty low fat gravy after adjusting thickener. Before I even read the reviews, I knew there must be an error in the recipe. There is no way one fourth cup of flour will thicken 6 cups of liquid. The normal proportion is 2 Tablespoons flour, or 1 Tablespoon cornstarch, per cup of liquid. So, I used 6 tablespoons of cornstarch and I was pleased with the result. Instead of putting the cornstarch in the one cup of water, I used one cup of cold broth. I did not want to water down the flavor of the gravy. I was very happy to have a tasty gravy with no fat. You may also want to adjust the salt. If you are using bouillon, or canned broth, you probably do not need to add any salt. I would recommend making this without salt and adding later if you need it.

It was tasty, but was way too soupy per the ingredients. Either needs way more flour or way less stock.

The gravy did get thicker, but not as thick as I was hoping. Next time, I'll try using corn starch instead of the flour.

This gravy had a great flavor and everyone at my Thanksgiving table liked it very much. I used Wondra flour for the slurry and the gravy was a little thin. Next time I will try regular flour.

Just tried this for the first time, and it was wonderful AND easy! I had to use more flour than in the recipe, though. If you plan to use drippings from the turkey for stock, put plenty of water in the pan with the turkey and skim it very well. My gravy wasn't the slightest bit greasy.

Great flavor and very easy to make. Was a bit too oily for me, but this could stricktly depend on your method of using home made turkey stock. Overall, a good recipe!

This gravy was really delicious and received many compliments, but it was only after much effort on my part to thicken it up. In addition to the recipe's flour mixture, I had to add two cornstarch slurries, and boiled for almost a half hour! I'm going to keep this one, but will have to work on getting it to my desired consistency.

I added a little extra flour to thicken it more. It's a very easy recipe and makes excellent gravy. I'll experiment with different herbs, but this one is a winner!
