Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups turkey drippings
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • fat separator
  • medium saucepan
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Separate the fat from the turkey drippings using a fat separator or by chilling and skimming the fat from the surface. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the fat.
Cooking
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the reserved turkey fat and flour to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Gradually whisk in the turkey drippings and broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Finishing
  1. Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or sherry to the gravy while simmering. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more broth. If it's too thin, simmer for a few more minutes or mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and whisk it into the gravy.
