My old fashioned gravy is the finishing touch to my family's holiday meal. Sliced turkey and mashed potatoes just wouldn't be complete with out this savory topping. âSharon Adamczyk, Wind Lake, Wisconsin Ingredients:

6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth |
2 large onions, sliced |

1 cup white wine or water |
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves |
6 garlic cloves |
1 bay leaf |
3/4 cup butter, cubed |
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Place the giblets, neck bone, broth, onions, carrots, wine, celery leaves, garlic and bay leaf in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/4 hours. 2.
