Variations & Tips
For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of sherry or brandy to the gravy. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. For an herbaceous twist, add fresh parsley or sage to the gravy. To make this recipe gluten-free, use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the gravy. For a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
