Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- Turkey neck and giblets except for the liver
- dripping from roasted turkey
- 2 tablespoon bacon grease or oil, or butter
- 2½ tablespoon all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring the neck and giblets (except liver) to a boil in the water in a medium pan over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, skimming any impurities the float to the surface.
- After your turkey has finished roasting and is resting, pour the pan drippings through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring cup.
- Remove the neck and giblets from the broth. Set the broth aside. You can chop the giblets and add to the gravy, if desired. If not, then discard them.
- Heat the bacon grease (or oil, or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Add the flour and stir until incorporated, stirring with a wooden spoon frequently. Cook for two minutes.
- Carefully add the giblet broth to the roux (flour mixture), whisking constantly, until all lumps have dissolved. Stir in the pan drippings and continue cooking and stirring with a wooden spoon until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Notes
- If you don't have the giblets, then just use good-quality chicken stock or broth.
- If your gravy doesn't thicken enough, you can create a cornstarch slurry, by adding 1 tablespoon of cool water to 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Stir until dissolved and then add to the gravy. Continue stirring until desired thickness. If still too thin, repeat with another addition of slurry.
- The gravy will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week and freezes beautifully for up to 2 months.
