>>8045637>Please explainTurkey is fairly dry (drier than a roast chicken, for example) and has a very mild flavor (unlike, for example, a roast beef or a ham), both of which make it ideal for gravy.
You also need to cook the turkey to even make turkey gravy in the first place, unless you're some white trash pleb making boxed gravy
>explain people's obsessions with cranberry sauce, as I have never understood that. Why would someone want to put a sweet, sugary desert-type sauce on savory food?Cranberry sauce is not sweet. It's sour with a little bit of sweet. A little sour prevents you from getting exhausted when everything else on your overstacked thanksgiving plate is savory.
