Turkey Gravy

A <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/a-better-way-to-turkey-cook-that-bird-sous-vide-for-the-best-feast-ever">holiday roast turkey</a> isn’t complete without a great <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/turkey-gravy">gravy</a>, right? And for the best gravy, you need to start with great stock. We’ve designed this recipe to work with the bones and trim leftover from <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/turkey-butchery-how-to-separate-breasts-thighs">breaking down a turkey</a> for any of our killer sous vide turkey recipes. Since you’ll probably need the turkey stock, stat, we use a pressure cooker to speed up the process—just like in our <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/pressure-cooked-brown-chicken-stock">Pressure-Cooked Brown Chicken Stock</a>—which will get you a rich, brown stock in a fraction of the time it would take with a simmering approach. {activity:59z1Q9Y8HHB4h34D9l1Byl}
