Thanksgiving McCormick Review and Giveaway

I started learning how to cook and bake at a very young age. I always enjoyed it and was pretty darn good at it, or so I thought.

Until I tried to make Thanksgiving dinner all on my own for the first time. I thought that since I’d made plenty of dinners, it couldn’t possibly be much different.

But of course, I’d never cooked a turkey before.

And trying to figure out the timing of cooking all the other dishes, getting everything fully cooked- not burnt and not done so early that it would be cold by the time that it was served, was a little more of a challenge than I’d bargained for.

I think the only things that didn’t stress me out were the rolls(store-bought) and the McCormick’s Turkey Gravy Mix. Since even my stressed out self couldn’t mess up store bought rolls and an easy mix. Thankfully, gravy can cover a multitude of culinary sins. McCormick’s gravy comes out lump-free every time and is made with natural spices, no artificial flavors or colors, no MSG, and has zero grams of trans fat.

 

This Thanksgiving is the first in a while that I’ll once again be in charge of the whole meal and I’m hoping this one goes a little smoother than my first!

To make your holidays a little smoother, I have a great giveaway for you from McCormick!

  1. I love the turkey gravy because it is easy to have on hand for those times when, like you said, I need to cover up a cooking sin.  

  2. Surprisingly I was never a huge fan of gravy until my stepmom entered our family and she makes it with many meals.  I love it because it adds flavor to those items on the table you just don’t want to eat!

  3. I don’t make homemade gravy either. No one has every complained. {Psst–ad some extra sage and a splash on brandy to store-bought/mix gravy and everyone will rave!} That one of my secrets 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving.

  10. I like all of McCormick’s gravy mixes simply because they are so easy to use.  Add a cup of water, stir and let heat up. BAM! You have yourself some gravy!

  14. I love McCormick gravy for the consistency.   It’s so easy to use that I don’t save it for holidays.  I even ad it to ordinary casseroles  and weeknight meals.

  15. I love that it’s easy and always tastes good! I’m not the best cook- but I can always count on the gravy tasting good.

  17. Hats off to you for making the Thanksgiving meal! My sister does it and I gladly step aside. It sounds stressful. I use the McCormick seasoning packets for all my dinners. Makes life easy.

  18. I like it because it is so easy to make and it will taste good everytime.  when I have tried homemade it is often too runny or too lumpy- hard to get right

  20. I like their gravy because it is so much easier than trying to make my own from scratch- getting the hot drippings from the pan without 2nd degree burns is always a challenge.  McCormick is so much faster and safer (for a klutz like me).

  27. Thank you for offering such a generous giveaway. I like McCormick Turkey Gravy because it tastes great and is so simple to make. Like you, I am the only cook in the kitchen, so I welcome the help from McCormick.

  33. I use the Mc Cormick turkey gravy as well and usually snazz is up a bit with the drippings from the turkey. I pretty much only use Mc Cormick gravy mixes and also most of their spices. Just love using it. 

  34. I have never tried their turkey gravy, but I do make their country gravy all the time, It’s easy to make, tastes great, and turns out great each time.

  35. I like McCormick’s Turkey Gravy because it a quick and easy way to make a great tasting gravy.

  46. My family cant tell the difference so it’s always McCormick gravy in our house…so easy and flavorful.

  76. My turkey-baking skills have always been marginal at best and you’re right: a good gravy covers up a lot of culinary sins!

  81. great giveaway. My family love McCormick gravy because it comes in convenient packets and its so easy to make. It goes great with turkey.

  82. Love Mccormick gravives, I use them to add volume to my homemade gravy or on their own. Either way they are quick, easy & tasty.

  101. I like it because it tastes great, and you really can’t go wrong with it. It’s easy to dress up and make it as thick or thin as you’d like also.

  115. I like their gravy because it tastes great and it is simple!

  116. I don’t make homemade gravy because I eat only fish, but I love the flavor of turkey gravy so I opt to use McCormicks everytime.

  141. I like McCormick Gravy because it adds to the flavor of the turkey without overpowering it and it seems that most people love its flavor!

  149. I like it first and foremost because it takes the difficulty out of making a good gravy, and it always has just the right consistency, which I could never achieve with gravy made from scratch!

  162. The reason I love McCormick’s Turkey gravy is because I love the taste of it, love the price and also love how easy it is to make!

  164. I love it as it always taste as if you had made the gravy from scratch. It always comes out so smooth and is so easy to make.
