    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix flour and Sherry in a small bowl until smooth paste forms. Cover flour paste lightly.
  2. Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and rosemary: sauté until mushrooms begin to soften, about 3 minutes. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead.) Let paste and mushrooms stand at room temp.
  3. Transfer pan juices to an 8-cup glass measuring cup. Spoon off fat and discard. Add enough chicken broth to pan juices to measure 5 cups; add to saucepan with mushrooms.
  4. Add flour paste and whisk to combine. Bring mixture to boil, stirring frequently. Boil until thickened to a light gravy, about 10 minutes.
  5. Mix in cream, thyme, and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with turkey.
