Gravy Recipe
Description
The Gravy Recipe relies on basic ingredients: butter, all-purpose flour, black pepper, and turkey pan drippings or chicken broth. The method starts by melting butter and mixing in black pepper, then slowly whisking in flour to form a roux. Gradually adding the strained drippings or broth while whisking helps prevent lumps as the mixture thickens over several minutes. The slow incorporation and continuous whisking ensure a smooth, thick gravy.
This gravy is well-suited to accompany turkey or chicken dishes, bringing a rich and peppery character from the pan drippings. It can be served immediately or kept warm on low heat until needed. The recipe provides adjustments such as substituting cornstarch for flour to make it gluten free, or adding milk for a creamier version. For thicker gravy, additional flour or cornstarch can be whisked in after simmering.
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 4 c. turkey pan drippings strained or chicken broth
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in black pepper.
- Slowly add flour, whisking continuously until mixture is smooth.
- Slowly whisk in drippings or chicken broth into the pan. Make sure to whisk continuously. Cook gravy for several minutes until it thickens up.
- Serve immediately or keep warm on low heat until ready to serve.
Notes
- To make gluten free gravy, replace flour with half the amount of cornstarch (e.g., 1/4 cup cornstarch for 1/2 cup flour).
- For a creamy variation, substitute part of the liquid with milk to create a sausage-style gravy.
- Continuous whisking while adding flour and liquid helps prevent lumps for a smooth gravy.
- If desired, thicken the gravy by adding more flour or cornstarch, but ensure you simmer it to fully thicken.
