Break chicken wing and using a pounder or rolling pin bash chicken parts to help release flavor or in my case (I didn't get to the gym today) add them to the pan drizzle it with EVOO.
Season with sea salt and pepper toss than cook 1 1/2 hours or when everything is tender stirring occasionally.
Remove from oven and place on top of the stove on low heat using a potato masher mash all that goodness married together and let it cook until it gets a little darker about 10 minutes. Stirring continuously sprinkle flour then add 10 cups of boiling water.
Simmer until the desired thickness.
Remove from heat using a coarse sieve over a large bowl using the back of a spoon smash all those beautiful flavors so they come out a luscious gravy. Taste for seasoning now you can freeze this or Refrigerate it until the big day.
The big day: When the turkey is cooked to perfection place it on a platter cover it with the double layer of foil and CLEAN dishtowel for up to 2hrs. Skim the fat off the top and put your gravy starter in with the turkey juices and bring to a boil at this time if you want to add port or sherry and boil for few minutes. Once your gravy is piping hot pour it through a sieve and transfer to your favorite gravy boat.
