Gravy panic! Make ahead gravy with NO GIBLETS

[Terrywoganstrousers]

I was planning to make Nigella's Allspice gravy, freeze it, and then reheat on Christmas day. (Will be 39 wks pg on the day so trying to get as much done as poss). I have just gone to make it now and realised that the bloody stuff has turkey giblets in it and it totally passed me by!
I have a turkey crown arriving tomorrow evening so no giblets- now I am having a panic.
Can you share your make ahead gravy recipes please, and not the jamie Oliver one as I CBA with a load of chicken wings and trying to stay out of the shops now really.

It's not going to work with a substitute, can recommend Delia's Seatk and Kidney gravy if you've any steak and kidney stashed in the freezer ? (also need onion, beef dripping and worcester sauce).

Cook the turkey on a trivet of onion and carrot. Use the veg and juices to make gravy by adding flour, a stock pot and some water. Takes a couple of minutes ok you can't make it in advance but it does literarily take 2 mins to make once the turkey is out of the oven.

I do have stewing steak but no kidneys.
I guess I will just have to make gravy with the turkey juices, was hoping to save the trouble as its my least fave bit of doing the roast dinner
Grr. Never mind.

Have you got any types of chicken in the freezer? Ideally wings are best or failing that drumsticks?

I don't usually use the bacon so it works fine if you don't have any.

James Martin was on Chris Evans show earlier this week (Thursday I think). His make ahead gravy used ready made chicken stock from the supermarket, red wine and redcurrant jelly. I'm not 100% sure of the proportions but it will be on the iplayer.
