waterPREPARATION:

Pour the turkey or chicken pan drippings into a 2 cup measuring cup and skim the fat off. Put about 1/4 cup of the fat into a saucepan and stir in 1/4 cup of flour (all purpose). Add enough water to the drippings (throw the rest of the fat away) to make 2 cups of liquid.

Pour the 2 cups of liquid into the flour/fat mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe makes about 2 cups of gravy.

If you'd like some more flavor, you can also toss in a low sodium chicken boullion.

Haha I could see that. It's just a cheese biscuit image I grabbed for the recipe.

They are really good with a creamy milk based soup, like broccoli cheese or potato soup.

So that's not necesarilly what they look like? I guess they weren't even muffin shaped (in the picture) so I should've known.

yay for thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!

[A.D]

I made the cheese biscuits. a little dry imo, but then it was pointed out to me that they did taste like biscuits, which are normally dryish. I think I might try again but with more stuff added into the actual dough (garlic whatnots) maybe a bit more milk, and mozerella cheese. and then cut in half with cheese melted onto them.
i like cheese.

[Niimo]

You like cheese? Well then, I have quite a few recipes for you.
