Turkey Gravy
Description
The Turkey Gravy recipe combines strained turkey broth with cornstarch, whisked together until smooth, then gently heated to activate the thickening agent. Butter is incorporated as the mixture begins to heat, adding richness and a velvety texture. The gravy is boiled briefly to reach the desired thickness, with salt and pepper adjusted to taste. This produces a glossy, medium-thick gravy well suited to pour over turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, or other complementary dishes.
The preparation uses room temperature broth and a straightforward technique of whisking and gentle heating, allowing easy control over the thickness by cooking time and cornstarch ratio. The subtle seasoning helps highlight the broth’s flavor without overpowering it.
If turkey broth is insufficient, chicken broth can supplement to reach 1.5 cups, maintaining the liquid volume necessary for the recipe. The gravy should be served warm to retain its smooth texture and flavor balance.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups turkey broth strained, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk cornstarch into room temperature or cooler turkey broth until well combined.
- Pour mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk.
- As soon as the mixture heats up, about 2 minutes, add in butter and whisk.
- Bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes, whisking frequently. Then remove from heat. If needed salt & pepper to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
- If you lack enough turkey broth, supplement with chicken broth to reach the required volume.
- Whisk continuously during heating to prevent lumps and ensure smooth gravy consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper after cooking to suit preferences.
