Onion and Porcini Gravy
If not serving to vegetarians, you can replace some or all of the stock with the roasting tin juices of the cooked turkey, or its resting juices. Simply scrape the base of the tin once the turkey is removed with a wooden spoon to loosen any sticky bits and strain into a jug.
