I am making a small thanksgiving dinner - just 3 of us.  Is there a good' in the can' gravy that I can buy?  

 

I am doing a small turkey breast in the crockpot...I am not a good cook and homemade is not important, I just want it to taste good.

 

thanks

At my Publix they sell gravy in the deli department.  I found it better than any canned or jars that I have tried.  Check your local supermarket in the deli department.

I use Campbell's in the can or Heinz (in the jar) gravies during the week in order to not slave over the stove. One thing you need to do is water them both down a bit as they come out of the container very thick. I just add about a half of can or jar of water, stir to get the lumps out, and heat in the microwave for 2 or 3 minutes.  

McCormick has great powdered gravies in a pouch as well but requires a little more effort.  Standing over the stove whisking and whisking and whisking.

I saw packaged turkey gravy in the refrigerator section at Costco yesterday.  IMO nothing can compare to real homemade turkey gravy made from pan drippings.  I expect to have a lot of it this year since I'm making two birds.

If you have a Trader Joe's nearby they have a good turkey gravy in a small waxed box.

 

Just purchased one but haven't tried it yet this year, have had it in the past and it was good.

 

McCormick has powdered turkey gravy, haven't had it but really like their beef gravy, I use the industrial size lol (11oz?).  It is nice on its own as gravy and also use it to boost stews, pot roast etc.

Heinz makes a really good turkey gravy in a jar. It is not a huge jar but will be plenty. I use it all the time.

Heinz in a jar or a packet of dry mix.

I just tried Heinz Homestyle  Roasted Turkey Gravy at a potluck on Friday. Itsbrown like my mom's was growing up, its not yellow (patooey) like some others ive come across.

Just pour any canned or in a jar turkey gravy over the turkey in the crock pot before starting the cooking.
