Ingredients

2 cups defatted turkey juices from turkey roasting pan or homemade turkey or chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 ounces shiitake mushrooms, rinsed, stemmed and sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry sherry
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Directions

Bring the juice to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and reduce by half. Add the cream and cook until reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, thyme, garlic, and sherry and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and almost dry, about 6 minutes

Combine the mushrooms with reduced gravy and season with salt and pepper. Reheat, if necessary, and stir in the vinegar. Transfer to a gravy boat and keep warm until serving.

GREAT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this gravy on thanksgiving day this year. I had purchased a gourmet turkey from a local specialty store so when it... came to gravy I had no giblets to make my traditional version. I will never go back to the traditional version! My family and friends loved this recipe. I thought my younger brother was going to get a bowl and eat it like soup!Read more

I don't know if I would use this as a gravy but I would definitely cook some egg noodles, and heat some leftover turkey it... would be wonderful.Read more

Great recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My whole family loved this gravy and we will definitely have it again. You really have to be patient and make sure you stick... with the reduction until you get the gravy consistency but it is really worth the wait and it is not too thin.Read more
