Shiitake Mushrooms Gravy
Gravy at Thanksgiving is as important as the turkey. No matter how much you are making, it never seems to be enough. Shiitake Mushroom Gravy is our favorite and constant for the past few years. It blends well and gives a complementary flavor to our Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing.
I make mine with shiitake mushrooms. Love the consistency and texture. However, what I love the most is that it can be prepared to a certain point the night before and put the finishing touches at the last minute. How great is that?
I never have enough pan juices with my turkey therefore either I make chicken stock or for time-saving, use store-bought stock. Make sure that it is sodium-free to make the shiitake mushrooms gravy.
Using fresh herbs does accentuate and intensifies the flavor of your gravy.

Mix flour and Sherry in a small bowl until smooth paste forms. Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat.
