I did a 'test' turkey last week and the turkey was absolutely fantastic.
The gravy however, not so much.
It was extremely watery, very little flavor.
My best guess is that with the Primo XL, the pan sitting on the deflector plate lays fairly close under the bird.. I'm thinking perhaps this kept the pan from getting hot enough to boil and reduce properly. I was able to partially resolve the problem by cooking it down on the stove after the fact, but it was still fairly weak.
I guess the easiest question is this - how much gravy does the recipe typically make? I ended up with a ton of liquid left over, thus my theory above.
I'm going to try and find a wider flatter pan to help with the air gap issue, and considering using less liquid?
Thoughts?
