Perfect Turkey Gravy

Pour this delicious gravy over turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes or hot turkey sandwiches!
Course: Condiment
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 4 c. turkey or chicken broth
  • 1/4 c. turkey drippings (fat) or butter
  • 1/4 c. Wondra quick mixing flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the broth in a saucepan until hot, but not boiling.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, combine the turkey drippings, butter, or a combination of drippings and butter, totaling 1/4 cup, and flour to make a roux, stirring constantly, until it turns a nutty brown and there are no lumps.
  • Slowly add broth whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes, and continue to cook stirring occasionally until you achieve the desired thickness, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

I like to add some chopped-up turkey to the gravy too!
