What is Gravy?
Gravy, that velvety elixir of the festive table, holds a cherished place in the hearts of culinary traditions and holiday feasts alike. Born from the rich juices of roasted meats, this savoury sauce has traversed the culinary landscapes of time. Its origins can be traced back to medieval England, where the practice of deglazing roasting pans to create a flavourful sauce first emerged.
As meats roasted on open spits, the cooks of yore ingeniously transformed the drippings into a concoction that would become the cornerstone of many hearty meals. Today, gravy remains a beloved staple in holiday dinners, a luscious complement to roasted meats and the crowning glory of mashed potatoes. Its unctuous texture and robust flavour serve not only to moisten the feast but also to bind together the diverse elements of a celebratory meal, embodying the essence of comfort and indulgence that defines holiday traditions.
Sorting the Basics
To embark on the journey of creating the sumptuous Cannabis Infused Gravy, it all begins with a crucial foundation – crafting the quintessential cannabis infused ingredient: cannabutter.
This velvety infusion, enriched with the essence of cannabis, imparts a distinct richness to the gravy, transforming it into an exceptional culinary delight. Before immersing yourself in the art of preparing this delectable gravy, ensure your pantry is stocked with cannabutter. If you've yet to master the creation of this essential infusion, fear not – my Cannabutter recipe is here to guide you through the simple yet enchanting process of infusing butter with the goodness of cannabis. With this foundational element in hand, we're ready to embark on a culinary adventure, turning your DANKSgiving feast into a sensational experience.

Cannabis Infused Gravy
Ingredients
- 1L chicken broth
- 4-5 tbsps potato starch
- Turkey giblets
- 1-2 tbsps cannabutter
- 2 tbsps butter
- Small bunch of rosemary, thyme, sage
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- Optional: mushroom powder
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a medium-sized pot to medium-high heat
- Melt cannabutter and regular butter in the pot and allow it to slightly brown
- Once the butter starts to brown, add turkey giblets and allow it to cook both sides of the meat until you get a crispy golden brown on the outer layer
- Add the herbs and chopped celery, carrots, and yellow onion to the pot and allow it to cook for 5-8 minutes or until you start smelling the aromas
- Add chicken broth to the pot, bring to a boil, and then simmer on low-medium heat for 35 minutes.
- Make a potato starch slurry in a small bowl by combining potato starch with water. Mix until it turns into a white sludge.
- Pour the potato starch slurry into the broth and mix well.
- You’ll start to see the broth thicken up to a gravy texture. Allow it to simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Season with salt, pepper, and optional: mushroom powder. Mushroom powder gives the gravy more depth and umami taste.
- Once your gravy is at the consistency you desire, strain the gravy from the ingredients. You can save the remaining ingredients for a turkey soup broth if you wish.
