Calvados Gravy image

Calvados, an apple brandy, adds a sweet finish to this gravy. The neck and giblets roasted alongside the turkey add flavor to the drippings -- discard them in step 1 for a smooth gravy, or return them to the pan at the end for a giblet gravy.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Reserved roasting pan with turkey drippings, neck, and giblets from Dry-Brined Roasted Turkey or
1/2 cup Calvados or brandy
4 1/2 cups homemade Turkey Stock, or Chicken Stock, or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Strain drippings from roasting pan through a sieve, and press to extract liquids; reserve pan. (Shred neck meat and chop giblets if making giblet version, step 4; otherwise, discard.) Pour drippings into a glass measuring cup or a fat separator. Let stand until separated, about 10 minutes. Pour off fat.
  • Place pan on stove across 2 burners. Add Calvados. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, scraping up brown bits and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 2 minutes. Add reserved drippings and 4 cups stock; bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup stock and the flour until smooth. Slowly whisk stock-flour mixture into pan. Simmer until gravy is reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Add butter, and swirl pan until butter melts. Strain gravy through a fine sieve; discard solids. Return shredded meat and chopped giblets to gravy if desired. Serve immediately or keep warm over low heat.

This gravy was a bit too boozy for my taste. I think I would use less Calvados next time.

I followed the recipe exactly but the gravy didn't turn out as I expected. It was a bit bland and lacked flavor.

I found that this gravy was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend adding a little more liquid next time.
