It is relatively easy to make, and the ingredients are typically found in most kitchens. The key to a good bacon gravy is to use high-quality bacon and to cook it until it is crispy.

1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
3 strips par cooked bacon, crisped in microwave and chopped (recommended: Ready Crisp)
Salt and pepper
1 cup store bought apple sauce
1 (14 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
2 slices whole grain bread
Butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 pound maple sausage, bulk or removed from large link casing
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock or turkey broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock or turkey broth
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Salt
A few grinds black pepper
1 1/2 to 2 pounds turkey breast meat: roasted turkey breast or thick-cut deli turkey
4 slices whole grain bread
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
  • Place potatoes in a medium pot. Cut larger potatoes in half. Leave smaller baby potatoes whole. Cover potatoes with water and top with a lid. Place over high heat. When the water boils, salt water and cook potatoes with the lid off pot for 10 to 11 minutes, until tender.
  • Place a second low pot on the stove top over medium-high heat. Add apple sauce and canned cranberry sauce. Stir to combine and gently heat through, about 10 minutes.
  • Toast 2 slices whole grain bread and butter heavily, 1/2 tablespoon per slice. Chop into small cubes and reserve.
  • Add extra-virgin olive oil and sausage meat to hot skillet. Brown and crumble the sausage with a wooden spoon or heat safe spatula. Add onions and celery to the skillet then season with poultry seasoning and salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add bread to the skillet and stir to combine. Dampen the stuffing with chicken stock and turn to combine. Turn off heat and cover pan loosely with foil to hold heat.
  • Preheat a second skillet over medium heat to prepare turkey and gravy.
  • Drain cooked potatoes and return to hot pot. Smash with sour cream, butter and crisped, chopped bacon. Season the smashed potatoes with salt and pepper. If they are too thick, thin them out with milk or a splash of broth.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter to preheated skillet and melt it. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups stock or broth. Add the poultry seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the gravy. Allow it to thicken slightly.
  • Cut roasted turkey meat away from the breast bones of rotisserie turkey breast. If you are using deli turkey, remove from packaging and separate slices. Set turkey into gravy.
  • Place a bread slice on dinner plate. Use a large ice cream scoop to place a mound of stuffing on the bread. Place turkey on top of stuffing. Serve smashed potatoes and cranberries on the side. Spoon the extra gravy over potatoes and turkey sandwiches. Sprinkle the plates with chopped parsley or chives and serve.

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
Cider gravy base:
Neck reserved from 18- to 19-pound heritage turkey
1/4 cup fat reserved from turkey cavities
1 whole turkey leg (thigh and drumstick)
2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped celery
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
6 large fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
8 cups chicken stock or low-salt chicken broth
4 whole sage leaves
Turkey:
1 18- to 19-pound heritage turkey, neck and 1/4 cup fat from cavities reserved for cider gravy base
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt or coarse kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
2 cups coarsely chopped celery
2 cups coarsely chopped fresh fennel bulbs
2 cups coarsely chopped peeled carrots
2 cups coarsely chopped unpeeled apples
1/2 cup olive oil
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup all purpose flour

Steps:

  • For bacon, dijon, and herb butter:
  • Blend all ingredients in processor until bacon is finely chopped. Transfer to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, roll butter mixture into 2-inch-diameter log; chill until firm. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.
  • For cider gravy base:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine turkey neck, 1/4 cup turkey fat, and turkey leg in heavy large ovenproof pot. Place in oven; roast uncovered until turkey parts are deep, dark brown, turning once, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain, reserving fat from pot. Reserve 1/4 cup fat for gravy; return 1 tablespoon fat to pot. Return turkey parts to pot; stir in celery, onions, thyme sprigs, and peppercorns. Return pot to oven; roast uncovered 10 minutes. Add apple cider and vinegar; roast 10 minutes longer. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Add 8 cups stock and sage to pot; cook in oven uncovered 1 1/2 hours. Strain gravy base through fine strainer; discard solids in strainer (there will be about 5 cups gravy base). DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
  • For turkey:
  • Cut bacon butter into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and let stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Starting at neck end, carefully slide hand between skin and breast meat, then slide hand between skin and thigh meat. Carefully slide butter slices between skin and leg, thigh, and breast meat to cover (there will be a generous amount of butter mixture). Sprinkle 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper over turkey, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in main cavity of turkey. Place turkey on rimmed baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap or foil; chill at least 1 day. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Set rack at lowest position in oven; preheat to 350°F. Mix onions, celery, fennel, carrots, apples, oil, and bay leaves in large roasting pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place turkey atop vegetable mixture. Tuck wings under; tie legs together loosely to hold shape. Place turkey in oven; roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 170°F, basting with pan drippings every 30 minutes and tenting loosely with foil if browning too quickly, about 4 hours total. Transfer turkey to platter (internal temperature of turkey will increase 5 to 10 degrees).
  • Pour vegetable mixture and pan drippings into large strainer set over large bowl; press on solids to extract liquid. Discard solids in strainer. Spoon off fat from pan drippings; discard (there will be a large amount of fat in pan drippings). Reserve degreased pan drippings for gravy (about 1 cup). Remove fat from surface of gravy base; reserve 1/4 cup fat. Rewarm cider gravy base.
  • Melt reserved 1/4 cup fat in large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; stir 3 minutes. Gradually add warm cider gravy base and degreased pan drippings. Simmer until smooth, thickened, and reduced to 51/2 cups, whisking frequently, about 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and pepper.
  • Serve turkey with gravy.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN TACOS WITH BACON GRAVY



Southern Fried Chicken Tacos With Bacon Gravy image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: One of my favorite comfort foods is fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. I also love tacos so I decided to put my favorite comfort food in a taco. The creaminess of the mashed potatoes offsets the spiciness of the chipotle fried chicken and the roasted corn salsa completes the taco.

Provided by makeelan_9648031

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

8 ounces chicken tenders, about 8 tenders
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chipotle chile in adobo
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 cup canola oil
5 pieces bacon
1 tablespoon bacon grease
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 (5 ounce) can cooking spray
1 ear of corn, grilled
1 cup cherry tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped small
1 cup avocado, peeled, seeded and chopped small
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (24 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes
8 (6 inch) white corn tortillas
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, mix the buttermilk and chipotle peppers in a medium sized bowl and mix to combine. Add a ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Add the chicken tenders and marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. If you want spicier chicken, you can marinade up to 2 hours.
  • To make the roasted corn salsa, heat a barbecue grill or grill pan and heat to medium heat. Spray with a non stick cooking spray. Grill the corn on all sides until slightly charred but cooked through. Remove from the grill and cut the kernels off. In a small bowl, mix together the charred corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, avocado and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper and set aside.
  • To make the bacon gravy, heat a large sauté pan to medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned and cooked through on both sides. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Once drained and cool, chop the bacon into ½ inch pieces and set aside. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease left in the sauté pan and heat the pan to medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the pan. Cook the flour for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Slowly pour in the milk and whisk. Cook until the gravy thickens up, but not too thick, about 3-4 minutes. Add the kosher salt, pepper and the crisp bacon to the gravy and mix. Turn the heat off the stove but keep the gravy warm.
  • To fry the chicken, heat a cast iron skillet or large sauté pan to medium heat. Add 1 cup canola oil. Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade and drain. Discard the marinade. Put the flour and taco seasoning in a large zip lock bag. Put the chicken tenders in the flour mixture, close the top of the bag and shake so that the chicken tenders are fully coated with the flour mixture. Remove the tenders and put on a wire rack for 10 minutes to set up. Add the canola oil to a large frying pan and heat to medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping in a few pinches of flour in the oil to see if it sizzles. When the oil is ready, put the chicken tenders in to fry. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tenders are light golden brown and cooked through. When done, remove the chicken tenders from the oil and put on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Lightly season with kosher salt.
  • Heat a sauté pan to medium heat and rub a little canola oil around the pan. Put one tortilla at a time in the pan and heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until the tortilla has a little color. Put aside and keep warm.
  • Heat the mashed potatoes up by following the directions on the package. Keep warm.
  • To make the tacos, spread a nice helping of mashed potatoes on top of the warm tortilla and then put one chicken tender on top. Drizzle the bacon gravy on top. Top with the salsa and serve.
  • **If your chicken tenders are slightly larger than normal, cut the chicken tenders in half lengthways. Tenders on the taco should be just a little fatter than your index finger.
  • Makes 8 tacos or serves 4.

CRISPY FRIED PORK CHOPS W/BACON ONION GRAVY



Crispy Fried Pork Chops w/Bacon Onion Gravy image

We love crispy fried pork over most cuts of meat. The gravy put this dish over the top! And the Panko bread crumbs put the crisp in the chops that I love so much. Comfort food at best! Other cuts of meat would be wonderful with the bacon onion gravy. Bacon is good with just about everything...right?? Excellent served over...

Provided by Diane Atherton

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 to 4 pork loin chops, boneless (thin cut pork chops, cube steak and chicken breast would also be nice)
1 c all-purpose flour
2 - 3 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp milk
1 1/2 c Panko bread crumbs (can be found in grocery store section with flour and meal)
salt and pepper, to taste
all-purpose seasoning (I used everglades)
garlic powder
onion powder
butter and olive oil
eggs noodles, cooked to directions on package (I used Ronco medium egg noodles) mashed potatoes or rice would also be a nice substitute
GRAVY
8 - 10 slice bacon, cut into small pieces (i used a thick applewood flavored bacon)
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 to 1 cup)
2 - 3 Tbsp flour (I used some of the seasoned flour from the chops)
1 1/2 c chicken broth
1 c heavy cream
parsley flakes, optional
additional seasonings such as salt and pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. I had thick pork loin chops for this recipe, however, I didn't want them thick, so the 1st thing I did was I pounded them out to about 1/4 inch thickness. NOTE: these pounded out pretty big, feel free to split the chops before battering and frying.
  • 2. Set up 3 bowls for battering: 1st bowl combine flour and seasonings to taste (with seasoning listed). 2nd bowl beat eggs with 2 tablespoons milk. 3rd bowl Panko bread crumbs with a sprinkle of salt if desired.
  • 3. In a large skillet heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over a med/high heat, closer to a med heat than a high heat. Add more as needed.
  • 4. Rinse pork and pat dry. Dredge in flour mixture 1st, then dip in egg mixture and last dredge in Panko bread crumbs.
  • 5. Fry until a nice golden brown on both sides. Add add'l olive oil and butter as needed. NOTE: You are not deep frying, just keep the pan nicely coated. Remove chops from skillet once done and keep warm in a 170-degree oven. Reserve drippings for gravy.
  • 6. Add onions and bacon pieces to the drippings and saute until bacon is crisp and onions are tender. Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the flour reserved from battering the chops. NOTE: you can add more seasoning if desired. Continue cooking until bubbly and then add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir until thickened.
  • 7. I cooked the egg noodles about 10 minutes before serving time. I did add a little butter to the noodles and I sprinkled a little salt and pepper on them once cooked and drained. You could use rice, mashed potatoes, or your choice of pasta.
  • 8. Serve chops over noodles (or mashed potatoes or rice) and spoon gravy over chops. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
Turkey neck and giblets (liver discarded)
1 onion, quartered
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 sprigs thyme
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth, plus more as needed
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Turkey pan drippings
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Let the turkey sit at room temperature, 30 minutes. Position an oven rack in the lowest position (remove the other racks); preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey; set aside for the gravy. Finely grate the zest from all 4 lemons; combine with the peppercorns and 1 tablespoon salt. Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels. Season the inside with about one-quarter of the lemon-pepper mixture, then rub the rest all over the skin. Cut one of the lemons into quarters; stuff inside the cavity along with the onion, celery and thyme sprigs. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Put the turkey on a rack set in a large roasting pan and tuck the wings under the body.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Chop the bacon; set aside for the gravy. Add the butter to the skillet with the drippings and stir until melted, then pour into a bowl and stir in the juice of 2 lemons. Let the lemon butter cool slightly, then brush all over the turkey. Transfer to the oven and roast 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the Classic Gravy.
  • After the turkey has roasted 1 hour, baste it with the drippings. Continue roasting, basting every 30 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 2 more hours.
  • Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes before carving; reserve the drippings for the gravy. Stir the bacon into the finished gravy.
  • Prepare the stock: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the turkey neck and giblets; cook, turning, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery, thyme and bay leaves; stir to coat. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, reduce the heat to low and simmer about 1 hour. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup; reserve the saucepan. You should have 7 cups stock-if you're short, add more broth.
  • Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in the reserved saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the 7 cups stock; bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside until the turkey is done.
  • Pour the turkey pan drippings into a fat separator and let stand until the fat rises to the top. Discard the fat (or drizzle on your stuffing). Whisk the defatted drippings into the gravy; season with salt and pepper. Reheat before serving.

Tips for Making Bacon Gravy:

  • Use high-quality bacon: The quality of your bacon will directly impact the flavor of your gravy. Look for thick-cut, smoked bacon that is free of preservatives and nitrates.
  • Cook the bacon slowly: This will help to render out the fat and create a more flavorful gravy. Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy, but not burnt.
  • Use the bacon drippings: The drippings from the bacon are packed with flavor. Use them to make your gravy instead of butter or oil.
  • Add some flour: Flour will help to thicken the gravy and give it a smooth consistency. Whisk in the flour slowly, a little at a time, until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add some herbs, such as thyme or sage, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the gravy immediately: Bacon gravy is best served immediately after it is made. It can be served over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or your favorite breakfast foods.

Conclusion:

Bacon gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it thick or thin, spicy or mild, bacon gravy is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you have some leftover bacon, don't throw away the drippings! Use them to make a delicious and flavorful bacon gravy.
