Ingredients
Stock
- 1 bag turkey giblets (innards/neck/etc.)
- 1 onion quartered
- 2 carrots roughly chopped
- 4 black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 sprig rosemary and/or thyme
- 2 tablespoons parsley stalks
- 500 ml cold water
Gravy
- Turkey stock you made earlier (or 500ml/2 cups shop bought turkey stock)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 unwashed turkey roasting tray
Instructions
Turkey Stock
- First put all your turkey giblets into a medium sized saucepan, add the rest of the stock ingredients and put over a medium high heat. Bring to the boil, then turn right down and put a lid on. Leave to simmer away for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes strain the stock through a fine metal sieve into a clean jug/bowl/saucepan and discard all the bits left in the sieve – they have done their job.
- Allow the stock to cool to room temperature. Pour into an airtight container and freeze until Christmas Day.
- Defrost your stock for 24 hours in the fridge. Alternatively, you can defrost it the stock by zapping it in the microwave or just melt it in a saucepan over a low heat.
Turkey Gravy
- When your turkey has finished cooking, transfer it to a separate tray or rack to rest, and put the roasting tray over a medium burner on your hob. Bring the juices to the boil and sprinkle over 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir well until all the flour has been incorporated, then tip in the turkey stock you made earlier. Bring to the boil, then turn off and tip the gravy into a saucepan.
- Bring back to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes just before you want to serve the gravy. You may wish to sieve your gravy for a smoother finish.
