Peel a large potato and plop it into the gravy; it will soak up excess salt if you over did it! Then pull the potato out and toss it or give it to the dog...lol...

Quarter a couple of potatoes, let them boil and then remove them and they should absorb some of the salt.
Otherwise you will simply have to dilute the juices/sauce with more liquids/water and top up your other fresh ingredients.
If you have not added any thickeners yet, you could strain away some of the salty liquid and replace with fresh liquids

Adding a raw cut up potato will soak up the excess salt. I don't know how logn but I guess you could taste it in intervals until it tastes less salty.

Add sliced potatoes. They tend to suck out some of the salt.

I've also heard a piece of bread could help too.
