Turkey and Gravy




Turkey and Gravy

Today I am making a traditional dinner. I needed to use up the last boneless turkey breast that I had in the freezer and I had though ahead and froze individual servings of some vegetables.
Yesterday I put the boneless turkey breast in the crock pot to cook. The turkey weighed about four pounds. I had some leftover chicken broth so I poured that in with the turkey and let it cook for four hours. The turkey was done so I removed it from the crock pot.. What remained in the pot was the broth and the parts of the turkey and turkey skin. Some people prefer to remove these pieces. I don't I use a hand held mixer and I smooth out these pieces. I then take  some cornstarch to a little water and blend it smooth. After  it is smooth I add it to the broth and make gravy. 
While the gravy thickens I remove the netting and the skin from the turkey breast and let it set until the gravy is ready.
Today .I put away two dinners of gravy and turkey. Tonight I will have turkey and gravy over some bread with a side of cranberry and sweet potatoes.
That is going to be a really enjoyable meal and if I went to a diner it would have cost seven or eight dollars.
So yes I am saving money and will have leftovers to boot!
