to "fix" the color of a gravy that's too light, add the tiniest drop of "kitchen bouquet"-and be careful! it's a vegetable concentrate, and makes beef gravy look deep and rich. and if the color is just too "white", add a teeeeeny drop of yellow food coloring to it, and stir. you can deepen flavors with soup concentrate or boullion cubes, too--i dissolve them in 1/4 cup of water, and just add drizzles and taste. if you have time for the wonderful turkey wings gravy recipe i see here, try oven browning them, or browning them in a frying pan, just to get color, before you toss them in the water. it brings out a deeper color and flavor, too. good luck--there's always the good ol' jar for standby!
