I make the Jamie Oliver's get ahead gravy well in advance and freeze it. Add the turkey juices to it on the day. Mine's already done and yes, it does take a little while but that's what makes it taste so good.

Ps that is one thing you can make the day before, on the day add the meat juices and boil thoroughly for a couple of minutes at least before serving.

If I made it, I boiled the giblets the day before and used the stock plus any meat juices minus fat for the gravy.
Add salt and pepper to taste and cornflour to thicken.

Granules are greasy and horrible.
If you want it darker you could use a mix of cornflour and Bisto powder (easy on the salt though).

What method do you folks do for gravy on Christmas Day? I’ve done it several ways in the past yet still can’t settle on a simple but tasty way. I don’t want to use granules but having done Jamie Oliver’s method before, definitely tasty but long-winded, want something easier. Suggestions please!
