How To Make Cheating Gravy

I always smoke my turkey for the holidays, so I don't have drippings to use for the gravy. And then again, sometimes you just don't have time to make proper gravy with drippings. Here's a way to cheat.

The Recipe
Giblets if desired
Bits of turkey or chicken
2 cans Condensed Cream of Chicken soup
Water or milk
Flour

Step 1
Boil the giblets in water with some chopped onion, garlic, and lemon pepper while your turkey is smoking. Add more water if necessary to keep it covered. Do not add salt!!

When you're ready to make gravy, chop the giblets into tiny pieces and put back into the juice in the pan.(This step is optional. Some people don't like giblets.)

Step 2
Chop bits and chunks of turkey (or chicken) into tiny, tiny pieces. Add to the pan.

Step 3
Open two cans of condensed chicken soup to the pan. Add one can of milk or water and start heating the pan.Bring the pan to a gentle boil while stirring constantly. Simmer for a couple of minutes.

Step 4
If the gravy is too thick, add water or milk. If it's too thin, shake about a tablespoon of water in a jar with 1/2 cup of water. Add to the gravy and bring to a low boil for at least two minutes. Taste and add any other spices to taste.

Step 5
Pour the gravy into the gravy boat and put on the table or buffet.

Eat.

Things to Remember:

• You can add a packet of turkey gravy to the recipe if you like. I don't.
• If the gravy is lumpy, put it into a blender and blend on low. Be careful, it's hot!! Pour back into the pan and wash the blender before anyone realizes that you cheated.
• Be careful, you just boiled that gravy. Don't spill on yourself!!
• Don't add salt. The condensed soup has more than enough salt in it!!
