Thanks but there are sometimes things which sound worse than they taste and vice versa. Hence I want to know which are likely to clash with gravy made from turkey trimmings and chicken stock.

Acids will clash. Avoid citrus when pairing with heavy things like gravy. Yes, it cuts it, but not in a tasteful way. For vegetables stick with simple things like a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper.

herbs are always gonna be good with that kind of gravy/sauce. I'd leave out the sugar and vinegar.

Thanks guys. Another question: can I parboil and prepare them tomorrow to just chuck in the oven on Friday? Or do they need to still be hot before I roast them?

the way I roast my veggies:
cut
toss with olive oil and seasoning
put on baking sheet
TIGHTLY cover with foil so they steam
425 for about 12-15 minutes
take off foil, stir around a bit
back in for 15 minutes.

perfect color/roasted flavor every time.

oh, take off the foil for the second baking so they actually like, you know, roast.
