Steps:
- Add the caramelized mirepoix, sage and thyme to a saute pan, mix together and heat over medium until hot. Add the gravy, turkey pan juices, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer--don't boil it--and simmer until reduced slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a dish, let cool and then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- When ready to serve, bring the gravy back to a simmer. Stir in the chopped eggs and pour into a pitcher.
- Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- In a saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon each of the butter and oil. When the butter is melted, add the celery, carrots, onion and fennel (mirepoix) and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and stir through. Scoop out 2 cups of the caramelized mirepoix and reserve for the gravy. Put the remaining caramelized mirepoix in a large bowl (you should have about 4 cups).
- Heat a second saute pan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each butter and oil and heat until the butter is melted. Add the celery root, parsnips and turnips and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the mirepoix and add the stuffing mix. Add the chicken broth, parsley, salt and pepper and toss together. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- If baking right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover with foil and bake until the stuffing is heated through, about 1 hour.
- If making ahead of time, cover the unbaked stuffing with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring the stuffing to room temperature, then drizzle with 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Bake, covered with foil, until heated through, about 1 hour.

Tips:
- **Use a flavorful base.** The foundation of a great gravy is a flavorful base. This can be made from a variety of ingredients, such as meat drippings, vegetables, or mushrooms. - **Cook the vegetables well.** When you're making a roux, it's important to cook the vegetables until they're soft and caramelized. This will add a rich, deep flavor to the gravy. - **Use a whisk to combine the roux and liquid.** This will help to prevent lumps from forming. - **Simmer the gravy for at least 30 minutes.** This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. - **Season the gravy to taste.** Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. - **Serve the gravy hot.** Gravy is best served hot, over your favorite dishes.Conclusion:
With these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful gravy that will elevate any meal. So next time you're cooking, don't forget to make some gravy! It's the perfect way to add flavor and richness to your favorite dishes.
