Mad Max Turkey Gravy

aturco

 Hello All
Made a 14 lb turkey today following for the most part the Mad Max Recipe. I've seen it discussed on the forum in the past. My question is about the gravy part. I had to out a drip pan punder the grate as the turkey was to big to put it in a pan above the grate. I emptied the liquid from the drip pan and used the fond(?) in the bottom of the pan and butter to start the process. Pretty much followed the directions from there. Taste ok but I have all these black bits in the gravy. Is that okay or should I not have used it? 
Will try a different setup on TG to get the turk in the pan. Thanks!

That is fond and it adds lots of flavor. Go real easy on the wine in Mad Max's gravy.

I like to use a fine mesh strainer to remove bits and pieces after I have finished the gravy.

That's the good stuff. As said above you could strain it but I leave it as is.
