If you ever wanted to know how to make the best ever homemade slow cooker turkey gravy recipe, this one from Dom is perfect. You’ll be in gravy heaven!
Growing up, my mum always made homemade gravy to go with our Sunday dinners and Christmas meats. It was always delicious and bursting with flavour, but I was never a true fan of making gravy.
As I got older, gravy granules were my go-to with roast dinners. Until Dominic’s recipe! Once I had it, I never went back to the processed stuff.
You can also leave the slow cooker to it and put your feet up.
Serve the gravy alongside one of these turkey recipes: air fryer turkey thighs and air fryer dinner for two.

Can You Make Gravy In A Slow Cooker?
Yes, you can make gravy in the slow cooker and you will love it. Even better, you can cook our slow cooker turkey crown then retain the juices to make a delicious gravy. Then afterwards re use the slow cooker for a homemade pie.
How To Make Gravy From Turkey Juice?
To make gravy from turkey juices, simply heat the juices in a slow cooker until it starts boiling. Skim to remove the fat then add cold water, chicken stock and corn flour and blend with a hand blender until thick.
What To Add To Turkey Gravy To Make It Taste Better?
To make turkey gravy taste better, use a high-quality stock or stock cube. They are loaded with tonnes of flavour that will take your gravy to the next level. I usually make instant pot beef stock cubes and freeze them. You can add frozen stock cubes directly in the slow cooker.
What Is The Best Thickener For Turkey Gravy?
Corn flour or cornstarch is the best thickener for turkey gravy and is gluten-free. You can also use plain flour as thickening agents. Or if you are making a roast dinner, adding a scoop of mashed potatoes is our favourite thickener.
Can You Recommend A Slow Cooker?
I often get asked which slow cooker I recommend and which one I use. In 95% of our slow cooker recipes, we use the Ninja Foodi and its slow cooker setting. Because the Ninja Foodi is an all in one cooking pot we can sauté, air fry, slow cook, and even dehydrate and make yoghurt, all from the same cooking pot.
Plus, we recommend you head over to our slow cooker recipes category as we have more than 100 tried and tested slow cooker recipes and have been using slow cookers for 18 years. Or more specifically check out all our ninja foodi recipes.
