How much turkey gravy for 20 people?

It's impossible to give you an exact amount of turkey gravy for 20 people without knowing how much gravy each person will eat.

Here's a breakdown to help you decide:

Factors to consider:

* Gravy Lovers vs. Light Eaters: Are your guests big gravy fans, or do they prefer a light touch?

* Side Dishes: Will you be serving lots of starchy sides like mashed potatoes and stuffing that pair well with gravy, or lighter sides like green beans?

* Turkey Size: A larger turkey will generally yield more drippings, which can be used to make gravy.

General Guideline:

* Conservative: Plan for 1/2 cup of gravy per person. This is a good starting point if you're unsure.

* Moderate: Aim for 3/4 cup of gravy per person. This is a safe bet for most groups.

* Generous: If you know your guests love gravy, plan for 1 cup per person.

Example:

Let's say you're going for a moderate amount of gravy.

* 20 people x 3/4 cup gravy per person = 15 cups of gravy.

Tip: It's better to have too much gravy than not enough! You can always store leftovers for future use.

Additional Considerations:

* Gravy Thickness: A thicker gravy will go further than a thinner one.

* Pan Drippings: Remember to factor in the amount of pan drippings you have to make the gravy.

Happy Thanksgiving!
