Instructions
To Prepare Gravy With Flour
- Create a slurry by combining ⅔ cup flour with ⅔ cup cold water in a jar. Shake until smooth. Note that you will need ⅓ cup flour for every 2 cups broth.
- Bring broth (or stock) combined with drippings to a boil. While whisking add the slurry a little bit at a time until the gravy reaches desired consistency. You may not use all of the slurry.
- Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
To Prepare Gravy With Cornstarch
- Create a slurry by combining cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
- Bring broth and drippings to a boil over medium high heat. (I cook the gravy right in the turkey roasting pan on my stovetop).
- While whisking, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into boiling gravy a little bit at a time. Continue adding until gravy reaches desired consistency. You may not need all of the slurry.
- Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
- Slurry: You may need to create more slurry (cornstarch or flour mixture) based on the amount of drippings/broth and desired consistency.
- To Make a Roux: To create a roux-based gravy, skim fat from drippings. Combine ½ cup fat with ½ cup flour for each 3-4 cups liquid (broth or juices). Cook fat and flour over medium heat for 1 minute. Add broth a little bit at a time whisking after each addition.
- Herbs: Most grocery stores sell as "poultry" herb pack which is great in this recipe. If your store doesn't carry it, you can use any fresh herbs you like. I use a combination of parsley, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
- Nutrition: Nutrition may vary greatly based on the amount of fat, drippings, etc in your gravy.
