Instructions
For the Turkey Stock
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, garlic, carrot, neck and giblets; cook until well browned about 10 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with Marsala, Sherry or apple juice, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom, reduce until nearly evaporated.
- Stir in the broth, pepper, bay leaves, rosemary and sage sprigs. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 1 hour, covered.
- If making ahead, allow to cool completely, store in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Once ready to finish the gravy, strain out the veggies and giblets using a fine mesh strainer, be sure to place a pot or bowl under your strainer.
- Discard veggies and giblets, reserve stock, should be about 3-4 cups, you'll want a total of about 4 cups, if necessary use drippings from turkey to attain 4 cups, or chicken or turkey stock.
For the gravy
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cooking 1-2 minutes. Works great with Gluten Free AP flour too.
- Whisk in reserved 4 cups turkey broth slowly, whisking until thick and smooth. Bring mixture to boil; cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
- Whisk in vinegar and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
- Pour into gravy boat or bowl with ladle, serve immediately. If too thick, heat and add additional stock to thin to desired consistency.

Notes
- Easily convert this to Gluten Free by making with cornstarch or preferred AP Gluten-Free Flour.
- I receive a lot of questions about the vinegar, while the gravy will still taste delicious without it, believe it or not a touch of vinegar brightens the flavors of many sauces and gravies. Just a touch, you don't want to taste the vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar may be replaced with a red or white wine vinegar, regular vinegar (start out with a little less) or even balsamic vinegar.
