Ingredients
4
tablespoons
butter
or fat from pan
4
tablespoons
unbleached
all-purpose flour
2
cups
pan drippings from turkey
or turkey stock
Instructions
In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over low heat.
Whisk in the flour and heat to a simmer. Continue simmering for 1 minute.
Pour in reserved turkey stock from roasting pan, or warm turkey stock.
Whisk together and heat until gravy starts to thicken. Do not boil gravy or it will break/separate.
Pour into gravy boat and serve.
Notes
By creating the roux first, we are allowing the flour to absorb the moisture ahead of time which helps to prevent lumps and clumping
The longer that you cook your roux, the darker your gravy will be.
Substitute a good turkey stock or broth for the drippings. Adjust your seasonings as needed to enhance the flavor.
