au jus gravy

Italian translation: au jus

English term or phrase: au jus gravy
Si sta descrivendo un lauto pranzo per il giorno del ringraziamento negli Usa:

"... a roast wild turkey stuffed with chestnuts, walnuts and rice. An ***au jus gravy***. Leeks braised in white wine..."

C'è qualcosa che non mi quadra: mi risulta che gravy sia sugo e "au jus" significhi "al sugo". C'è qualche significato che mi sfugge? Grazie mille sin d'ora!

Italian translation:au jus
Explanation:
"Au jus" simply refers to the natural juices of the meat, whereas gravy is a sauce made from the juices and the addition of a thickening agent and liquid (and sometimes herbs or other ingredients).
In this case "gravy" is used incorrectly to refer to the sauce served with the meat, which is simply the natural juices.

agree  Catherine Bolton: Yep, you'd serve turkey either "au jus" or with gravy, but not both. Though I can't IMAGINE Thanksgiving dinner without that thick gravy my mom used to make! ;-)
