Turkey Gravy

This is the best turkey gravy you'll ever have - it's smooth, creamy and full of savory flavors. Homemade gravy is a must have for any holiday meal, and my version is so simple to make.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups turkey drippings fat separated out
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Slowly pour in the drippings and the broth, whisking constantly.
  4. Bring the gravy to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until thickened.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the gravy into a pitcher or gravy boat. Top with parsley, then serve.

Notes

  • I like to make my turkey gravy as soon as I take my turkey out of the oven while it's resting.
  • To separate the flavorful pan drippings from the fat, I use a fat separator.
  • Make sure to whisk your gravy as it cooks until it is smooth. If you don't whisk the gravy, you will get lumps in your gravy.
  • If you end up with any lumps in your gravy, simply pour it through a sieve before serving.
