Sautéing is a cooking process using high heat that quickly browns and sears food in a small quantity of oil in a skillet. It is actually the same process as searing except that sautéing completely cooks the meat and searing is simply a means to brown the meat so that the cooking process can be completed with another method.

There are many recipes available for making turkey gravy, but you will find that most of them call for the use of the turkey drippings and the browned bits from the bottom of the roasting pan (formed as a result of oven roasting the turkey) combined with a small amount of fat, to produce gravy with the best flavor and color.
Like braising and stewing, steaming is a moist heat cooking method that results in tender and flavorful turkey through the use of steam. Unlike braising and stewing, the meat is not actually placed in heated liquid, but is suspended above it.
Stewing is a moist heat cooking process much like braising except that the turkey is submerged in liquid rather than being only surrounded by liquid as it is with braising. Another difference is that the turkey used for stewing is usually cut into smaller pieces rather than being left in large pieces.
Pan-frying is similar to sautéing except that a little more oil is used, the turkey pieces are larger and thicker, and the cooking process usually requires more time. High heat is used to sear the turkey pieces in order to brown the surface and seal in the natural juices.
