I am starting on my Turkey Day shopping and preparations. The one item I has not finalized yet is the gravy for the 20lb bird. I have read posts and seen recipes for making gravy using ThickenThin or Xantham gum etc. The problem is that I am going to be deep-frying the bird (yum!) and will not have any drippings to make the gravy with.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

No problem. Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of drippings. When thickened it makes a delicious gravy. I like to add a few herbs and sauted minced garlic while cooking.Happy Thanksgiving
