NIF'S EASY HOMESTYLE GRAVY
Yes, this is for a huge amount of gravy but go ahead and adjust for the amount that you need. What an easy way to make delicious gravy and impress your guests! After making Uncle Bill's Method for Cooking a Turkey (#46262), I ended up with a lot of delicious drippings and made my gravy out of that. For this gravy recipe, I had 5 cups of drippings from a 14 pound turkey! The best feature of Bill's method is to put 2 cups of good chicken stock in the bottom of the pan when roasting the turkey. We used this gravy for 10 people on Christmas day and 2 meals of hot turkey sandwiches. That's a lot of gravy!

Steps:
- While the bird is roasting, put butter and flour in small saucepan and set on stove. It will likely melt on its own from the heat of the oven but if not, put on low for last few minutes of cooking bird until butter melts. Stir ocassionally to create a paste, called a "roux".
- Pour drippings/stock in large saucepan on stove. Be sure to tip the bird for more liquid and scrape little bits of solids off bottom of roasting pan. Give liquid a good whisk to break up solids.
- Bring liquids to a simmer (don't boil!) and slowly add the roux, whisking constantly. Only add a bit at a time and stop when the mixture thickens to desired consistency. It should at least coat the back of a spoon. I tend to add full amount.
- Stir in seasoning salt and pepper. If you choose to add wine, slowly add it in until it tastes good to you!
- Let gravy simmer and reduce while you carve up your bird. I wouldn't simmer more than 15-20 minutes.
- NOTE - Please be sure to taste your gravy. Add salt, pepper, wine or whatever you think it needs. Add slowly and taste often!

Steps:
- In a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan, cook the butter and onions over medium-low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Don't rush this step; it makes all the difference when the onions are well-cooked.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisk in, then add the salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock mixture and Cognac, and cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes until thickened. Add the wine and cream, if desired. Season, to taste, and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in milk so that no lumps form, and continue cooking and stirring until thickened. If the gravy becomes too thick, you may thin it with a little more milk.

Tips:
- Use a good quality beef broth: The better the broth, the better the gravy. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, beefy flavor.
- Brown the beef well: This will help to develop the flavor of the gravy. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the beef will steam instead of brown.
- Use a roux to thicken the gravy: A roux is a mixture of equal parts fat and flour. It is cooked until it is golden brown, then added to the gravy. This will help to thicken and smooth the gravy.
- Season the gravy to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or red wine for extra flavor.
- Serve the gravy hot: Gravy is best served hot. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve, reheat the gravy over low heat until it is warmed through.
