After you've roasted the turkey, save all the fat and juices in the pan, and use them to make this delicious gravy.

Time 20m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup water
2 to 3 tablespoons turkey pan drippings
4 cups (1 quart) reduced-sodium chicken broth
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Remove turkey from the roasting pan. In a small jar, shake flour with water until smooth; set aside.
  • Leaving carrot, onion, and turkey neck in the pan, remove 2 to 3 tablespoons of fat from the bottom, using a baster.
  • Place pan over medium heat; add chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Simmer the mixture until the sauce has darkened, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the vegetables and the turkey neck from the pan, and discard. Strain the sauce into a large measuring cup; discard any solids. You should have approximately 3 1/2 cups of strained liquid; add more stock if needed.
  • Return the liquid to the pan; bring it to a simmer. Whisking constantly, gradually add the flour mixture.
  • Cook mixture until gravy is smooth, has no lumps, and is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Season gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

This gravy is a bit too thick for my taste, but it's still delicious. I'll try thinning it out next time.

This gravy was way too salty for my taste. I had to add a lot of water to thin it out.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gravy turned out lumpy. Not sure what went wrong.
