A gravy is typically a sauce made from the juices that drip off of roasted meats and poultry. But they’re also made in a variety of different ways, so you’ll find a variety of different gravies to try below.
My gravy recipes are extremely popular, with users coming back again and again to make them, especially around the holidays. But I have a wide variety of gravies that I love to make that aren’t holiday-specific. From the perfect gravy for your roast chicken to a comforting sausage gravy to serve over biscuits, there’s a gravy for every kind of meal.
