Don’t worry if your Thanksgiving gravy didn’t turn out well, you can still save it.
If it seems too thin, remove it from the heat and wait a little while. It may thicken. If it is still too thin, add a tablespoon of cornstarch or more flour with some cold water.
If it is too thick, add more broth or more liquid from the turkey pan.
If it is too salty, add some lemon juice or cream.
If it is too bland and pale—the secret of all secrets—add a few granules of instant coffee.
If it is too lumpy, spin it in the blender for a couple seconds until it’s smooth and ready to serve.
Voilá! Your super-easy gravy is ready to eat.
