On Thanksgiving Day, one thing is certain: having too much gravy is preferable to having too little. Unimaginably, the stuff has saved more dry turkeys than one could imagine (not that your turkey would be dry—you’re a member of the Epi community, after all). Still, your mashed potatoes want gravy, as does your dressing. I’m not sure what your side dishes do when I’m not around, so perhaps even your mac and cheese wants gravy.
What I’m getting at is: Big Batch Gravy is advisable. But large batches of gravy frequently leave behind leftovers, which can solidify into an ugly glob that’s thrown away far too frequently. However, there are a ton of reasons to save that gravy—and no, I’m not talking about bourbon-gravy shooters, unless you like extremely flavorful cocktails. I am referring to the deliberate practice of preparing an excess of food in a single meal with the intention of utilizing the leftovers for another purpose.
Leftover gravy will keep in your fridge for about three days. Pour the gravy into a zip-top bag and place it flat on a rimmed baking sheet if you won’t be using it up in that amount of time. Slide that baking sheet into the freezer and leave it until the gravy is a solid plank. Then file your gravy plank into the freezer however you’d like. The frozen gravy can be stored for a minimum of three months, although I’ve personally kept some for up to nine months.

Whisk it into mayonnaise
Many day-after-Thanksgiving sandwiches have boasted a slathering of chilled gravy. But you can make your turkey sandwich richer and creamier by whisking gravy into mayonnaise. Add some miso to enhance the taste, and add some lemon juice and fresh herbs to lighten it. After that, slather away or use later in the week as a dip for sliced chicken cutlets or steamed broccoli.
