When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, the gravy seems to enhance the flavor of every item on your plate. It really pulls the turkey, stuffing and potatoes together nicely. This year don’t use one of those store bought jars of gravy, make this simple, skinny recipe. It’s easier than you think…Most of the flavor comes from the stock. I’ve thickened it with a little flour and added some simple seasonings. The skinny for each serving, 36 calories, 2 grams of fat and 1 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.
