Turkey Gravy with Drippings
Description
Turkey Gravy with Drippings begins by using ¼ cup of turkey drippings collected from the roasting pan. The drippings are combined with an equal part of flour in a saucepan and cooked over medium heat, whisking constantly to form a smooth roux that removes the raw flour taste. Gradually, two cups of turkey broth are added while stirring, and the mixture is brought to a boil to thicken. Boiling for one minute ensures the desired consistency.
After removing from heat, the gravy is seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste. The gravy can be smooth or left a bit textured depending on whether the drippings are strained. It's a straightforward, classic sauce that enhances turkey dishes by adding richness and moisture.
This gravy is best served immediately alongside roast turkey and complements side dishes like mashed potatoes and stuffing.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup turkey drippings
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups turkey broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- For a smooth gravy, pour ¼ cup of the drippings from the roasting pan into a medium saucepan. (For a gravy with more texture, you can leave the turkey drippings unstrained.)
- Finish making the roux by adding ¼ cup flour to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until smooth.
- Whisk the 2 cups of turkey broth into the saucepan. Bring the gravy to a boil stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add the salt and pepper, and adjust the seasonings to taste before serving.
