Good Gravy - recipes for Thanksgiving

This is going to be simple.  Okay, maybe not so simple.  I will post the recipe link and ingredients here.  You can find the directions in the links.  Since they are all adaptations of other recipes, I want to be sure to give credit to the original source.

I still have not decided how I am doing the potatoes.  I will probably see how it works to simmer down some unsweetened coconut milk into a thicker "cream" and add it along with some other seasonings.  

We are also having organic Cranberry Sauce from a can, bread rolls for the non-gf/cf folks, and a Pecan Pie.  Pecan Pie is easy to adapt, but I am not sure how using rice syrup will go, so I am holding off on putting that one out here.

• 3/4 cup rice flour

• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/3 cup palm oil shortening 
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Chicken Stock

• 4 lbs fowl
• chicken giblets, chopped
• 1 onion, stuck with 2 cloves
• 2 leeks, halved lengthwise
• 2 carrots (removed for my son)
• 1 stalk celery, halved
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 6 parsley sprigs
• 6 fresh thyme sprigs

 Opal's Pumpkin Pie
http://www.food.com/recipe/opals-pumpkin-pie-102073

• 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin (or fresh cooked equivalent)

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 well beaten eggs' worth of egg substitute

• 1 cup heavy cream (I have a couple options for this one, but I think I am going with the coconut coffee creamer that I found in the cold section, it is sweet and creamy in just the right way).
• 2 unbaked 9-inch pie shells
