3. Make-Ahead Vegetarian Gravy

This vegetarian gravy can be prepared in advance and is entirely reliable.
First, since you don’t need turkey pan drippings, you can skip cooking the turkey (brilliant).
Second, you don’t need to make a complicated roux; just add some flour as you’re sautéing your vegetables.
Third, the umami-rich portobello mushrooms make it as tasty and rich as actual gravy.
