Trisha Yearwood’s Turkey Gravy Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups pan juices from the turkey roasting pan
4 tablespoons fat skimmed from the pan juices
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup shredded white meat from your roast turkey
2 large eggs, hardboiled, peeled and chopped fine
Salt
Directions
Pour the pan juices from your turkey roasting pan into a measuring cup. Skim and reserve the fat; you’ll need 4 tablespoons total. If the remaining turkey juice comes to less than 2 cups, top off with chicken stock.
Mix the flour with the skimmed fat in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the roux is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk the pan juices into the roux and cook until the gravy thickens. Stir in the shredded turkey meat and chopped eggs. Add salt to taste.

“I’ll Carry You Home” Lyrics
When you can’t walk and there’s chains ’round your soul
The burden’s too heavy and you’ve run out of road
And you’re praying out loud
As you stumble through the rain and snow
I’ll walk out and find you, I’ll carry you home
When you can’t speak ’cause the words are too strong
And every time that you try, it just comes out all wrong
When your heart’s screaming out, but no one can hear your song
Oh, I’ll sing it for you, I’ll carry you home
I’ll carry you home, I’ll carry you home
So rest your heart easy, I’ll carry you home
So wander this world now, fearless and free
Climb every mountain and sail every sea
But if you wander too far into the great unknown
You know I will find you, I’ll carry you home
I’ll carry you home, I’ll carry you home
So rest your heart easy, I’ll carry you home
I’ll carry you home, I’ll carry you home (I’ll carry you home)
So rest your heart easy, I’ll carry you home
Rest your heart easy, I’ll carry you home
