Adjust the stock in the recipe for whatever you're serving it with: turkey, chicken, beef -- even mushroom!
If you have drippings - use them. That's always your first choice. If you don't have enough, add butter. Strictly butter is for when you don't have any drippings at all (such as an air fryer turkey).
