Old Fashioned Turkey Gravy

No holiday dinner is complete without Old Fashioned Turkey Gravy like Grandma used to make. The only big secret I can share with you about making gravy is the turkey drippings make the best gravy ever. All the yummy flavors used to season the turkey will be incorporated into the drippings and make this gravy rich and savory. Growing up I thought my Mother had special powers in making the Thanksgiving gravy , it was so delicious and dreamy. Turns out it is pretty simple and now my kids think I have the same powers.

In Louisiana almost all traditional dishes start with onions , bell pepper and celery dubbed the Holy Trinity.

Smoked Turkey Breast

We love a good smoked turkey at Thanksgiving but it could take six to eight hours to smoke a whole turkey plus prepping the smoker. My poor husband would have to get up at 4am to have the turkey ready by lunch on Thanksgiving . A Smoked Turkey Breast is our answer to that problem and nobody has to get up at 4am. The small smoked breast is just enough to satisfy everyone. …
