No matter how perfectly cooked your Christmas turkey is, it can always be improved with a good helping of hearty gravy.
Most supermarkets stock pre-made gravy specifically designed to be paired with turkey, and of course there's always the option to use the classic granules and hot water combination.
But one chef on TikTok says it's simple to make your own that pairs 'perfectly' with the main dish, and you can make it on the day as well to save time.
The recipe was shared by @samhollandfood, who has been posting plenty of mouth-watering dishes for people to follow in the run-up to Christmas.
His gravy recipe has been liked thousands of times, with many flocking to the comments to say how much they're keen to try it this festive season.
Introducing the video, he said: "Here's how you make an amazing gravy to go perfectly with your roast turkey."
The dish involves utilising the spare vegetables that you've roasted alongside your Christmas turkey, which is excellent for minimising waste.
He said: "We're going to turn all this onions, garlic and thyme into the most amazing gravy."
After adding a few simple ingredients, such as red and white wine along with chicken stock, and straining the gravy before reducing it over the hob, you can create an "intense" flavour that your guests are guaranteed to love.
Sam's full recipe can be found below.
