Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or use whole wheat or gluten-free flour)
- 3–4 cups turkey drippings/stock (plus extra chicken broth if needed)
- Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Gravy Base: Ensure you have enough turkey drippings and stock to total about 4 cups. If you don’t have enough drippings, make up the difference with chicken broth.
- Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Thicken the Gravy: Once melted, whisk in a small amount of flour, then slowly add the turkey drippings/stock a little at a time, alternating with the flour. Whisk vigorously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Adjust Consistency: Start with about 3 to 3 ½ cups of drippings/stock, and adjust the amount as needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Simmer and Season: Bring the gravy to a simmer (avoid boiling) and let it thicken for a minute or two while stirring occasionally. If it becomes too thick, add more stock to thin it out. Season the gravy with freshly ground salt and pepper to taste.
- Final Touch: For an extra burst of flavor, add a teaspoon or two of chopped rosemary or thyme.
- Serve: Serve the gravy hot and enjoy!
