PAN JUICE GRAVY

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

Reserved pan juices from Cranberry-Glazed Turkey with Cranberry-Cornbread Stuffing
2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade, or low-sodium canned chicken broth
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt, freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pour pan juices from roasting pan, discarding any solids, into a fat separator. You should have 4 cups of pan juices, including 2 cups of fat. Pour pan juices into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, leaving fat in the fat separator. (If you do not have a fat separator, pour liquids into a tall quart-sized container and remove fat from liquid with a ladle.)
  • In a quart-sized mason jar, combine chicken stock and flour. Shake well to combine.
  • When pan drippings have come to a boil, slowly whisk in chicken stock mixture. Bring to a simmer. Continue to whisk until gravy thickens. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Keep warm until serving.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful cut of meat: The type of meat you use will greatly affect the flavor of your gravy. Choose a cut that is well-marbled and has a good amount of connective tissue, such as chuck roast, short ribs, or brisket.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before making the gravy will help to develop its flavor and create a rich, dark color. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot pan over medium-high heat.
  • Deglaze the pan: After browning the meat, deglaze the pan with a liquid such as water, broth, or wine. This will help to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan and add flavor to the gravy.
  • Simmer the gravy: Once you have added the liquid to the pan, bring it to a simmer and let it cook for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavor of the gravy and thicken it.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Once the gravy has simmered, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a dollop of butter or cream to make the gravy richer.

Conclusion:

Pan juice gravy is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. By following these tips, you can make a pan juice gravy that is rich, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
