Notes
Storing: You can store your turkey gravy in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When you’re ready to reheat you can do so in the microwave or in a small heat over medium-low heat on the stove. The gravy will thicken as it chills so you can a splash of broth while heating if needed.
Freezing: Once the gravy has come to a complete cool, transfer to a freezer safe storage bag or container. Let the gravy thaw in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the microwave or on stovetop.
