Scale
Turkey Gravy:
- 2 cups turkey drippings or low-sodium chicken/turkey stock
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning or fresh herbs
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Create Roux: Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add Drippings/Stock: Gradually whisk in the turkey drippings or stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Thicken Gravy: Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt, black pepper, and optional herbs to taste. Serve warm over turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
Notes
- For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream or a tablespoon of butter just before serving.
- If drippings are very fatty, skim off some fat before making the gravy.
