A Tale of Two Gravies: Mixing and Matching for the Ultimate Thanksgiving Plate

Thanksgiving is one of those meals where the gravy doesn’t just accompany the food—it ties the entire feast together. From the first spoonful over turkey to the last drizzle on mashed potatoes, gravy is the golden thread weaving all those flavors into one unforgettable meal. But here’s the secret that seasoned home cooks and chefs alike know: sometimes, one gravy just isn’t enough.

That’s where the magic of Le Sauce & Co. Gourmet Gravies comes in. With our Thanksgiving Turkey Gourmet Gravy, you get all the classic, herb-forward comfort of homemade gravy without spending hours at the stove. And when you bring in a second pouch—whether it’s Savory Mushroom, Beefy French Onion, or even Classic Demi-Glace—you suddenly have a table full of creative, mix-and-match flavor possibilities.

This year, don’t think of gravy as a one-size-fits-all topping. Instead, think of it as your ultimate flavor accessory—the part of your Thanksgiving plate that lets you play, layer, and indulge. Here’s how to make it happen.

 


 

Why Stop at One Gravy?

Tradition says turkey gets turkey gravy. Simple enough, right? But Thanksgiving plates are anything but simple. You’ve got stuffing brimming with herbs, creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, maybe even a beef roast for the red-meat lovers in the family. With so many dishes sharing the stage, one gravy can’t possibly do all the heavy lifting.

By offering two—or even three—gourmet gravies at your Thanksgiving table, you give guests the opportunity to tailor their plate, experiment with flavors, and create their own perfect bite. Think of it like a sauce bar: a little turkey gravy for the bird, a spoonful of mushroom gravy for the roasted green beans, maybe a drizzle of French onion gravy on mashed potatoes. Each combination enhances the meal in its own way.

 


 

The Star: Thanksgiving Turkey Gourmet Gravy

Of course, the main event begins with Le Sauce Thanksgiving Turkey Gourmet Gravy. Silky-smooth and brimming with roasted turkey flavor, this gravy captures the essence of the holiday. Infused with herbs and just the right seasoning, it tastes like it’s been simmering all day—except all you had to do was warm up a pouch.

On its own, it’s the perfect match for your turkey centerpiece. But here’s where things get fun: when paired with another gravy, it becomes part of a dynamic duo, creating bites that surprise and delight.

 


 

The Pairings: Where the Tale of Two Gravies Begins

Let’s explore the flavor possibilities of mixing and matching:

1. Thanksgiving Turkey + Savory Mushroom Gravy

This combo is for the veggie lovers at your table. The herb-forward turkey gravy brings lightness, while the earthy depth of mushroom gravy adds richness. Together, they create a balanced bite that works beautifully over mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, or even stuffing.

Best Plate Pairing: Turkey topped with a drizzle of turkey gravy, roasted green beans and mushrooms finished with mushroom gravy.

 


 

2. Thanksgiving Turkey + Beefy French Onion Gravy

This pairing brings bold, savory-sweet flair to the holiday table. Turkey gravy keeps the flavors traditional, while the French onion gravy—with its caramelized onion base—adds a layer of complexity that’s unexpected but irresistible.

Best Plate Pairing: Drizzle turkey gravy on the bird, then add French onion gravy to mashed potatoes and stuffing for a flavor-packed twist.

 


 

3. Thanksgiving Turkey + Roasted Chicken

For the gourmets in your family, this pairing is pure luxury. The roasted chicken is rich and velvety, with that unmistakable slow-simmered flavor that makes even simple dishes taste like fine dining. Paired with turkey gravy, it’s elegance meets tradition.

Best Plate Pairing: Turkey with turkey gravy, plus roasted chicken over roasted Brussels sprouts or chicken thighs for those serving more than one protein.

 


 

How to Serve Multiple Gravies Without Stress

Offering more than one gravy doesn’t have to mean chaos in the kitchen. In fact, with Le Sauce & Co.’s convenient pouches, it couldn’t be simpler.

  • Heat Easily: Just warm the pouches in simmering water or pour into a saucepan for a quick heat-up. No whisking, no lumps, no stress.

  • Serve with Style: Place each gravy in a small pitcher, boat, or even rustic mason jar. Label them (chalkboard labels add a fun touch) so guests know what they’re getting.

  • Encourage Mixing: Let your family know the fun is in layering! Suggest combos like turkey + mushroom or turkey + French onion. Watch as everyone gets creative.

 


 

Why Guests Will Love It

The beauty of offering multiple gravies is that it makes your meal feel personalized and thoughtful. Your vegan cousin can indulge in mushroom gravy over roasted vegetables, while your beef-loving uncle spoons French onion gravy over mashed potatoes. The turkey traditionalists stick with the classic, while the adventurous eaters experiment with combinations.

It’s interactive, it’s fun, and it turns gravy from an afterthought into a conversation starter. Plus, with Le Sauce, every option is as delicious as it is easy—so you get all the credit without any of the stress.

 


 

Beyond the Plate: Leftovers Made Luxe

The gravy fun doesn’t have to end on Thanksgiving Day. When you’ve got pouches of Le Sauce gravies, your leftovers get an instant glow-up.

  • Turkey Sandwiches: A drizzle of turkey or mushroom gravy makes a next-day sandwich taste gourmet.

  • Mashed Potato Bowls: Add French onion gravy to reheated potatoes, stuffing, and veggies for a cozy lunch.

  • Shepherd’s Pie: Use any leftover protein and veggies, topped with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy, for a comfort-food favorite.

Mixing gravies works beautifully here, too—creating leftover meals that feel brand new.

 


 

A Tale Worth Telling

Thanksgiving is about more than just food—it’s about memories, togetherness, and creating a meal that feels both comforting and special. By offering more than one gravy, you give your family and friends the chance to explore, experiment, and savor flavors in new ways.

With Le Sauce Thanksgiving Turkey Gourmet Gravy as your anchor, and complementary gravies like Savory Mushroom, Beefy French Onion, or Roasted Chicken alongside, you’re writing your own Tale of Two Gravies. And in this story, everyone leaves the table satisfied, happy, and just a little bit impressed.

Because when the gravies are this good, one is never enough
