Yield 6 servings of gravy or jus

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 roast turkey, giblets roasted in the pan with the turkey
3 tablespoons flour (for gravy) (45 milliliters)
2 cups turkey or chicken broth or water (as needed if there are insufficient juices) (500 milliliters)
3 ounces cold butter, sliced (optional) (90 grams)
salt and pepper to taste to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Transfer the turkey to a platter and pour any juices that have accumulated in the cavity into the roasting pan.
  • 2. Chop the giblets until quite fine but not into a purée.
  • 3. If the pan is swimming in juices, pour all the juices into a glass pitcher and skim off and discard the fat with a ladle. If you're making gravy, put 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of the fat back in the roasting pan.
  • 4. If there are less than 2 cups (500 milliliters) of juices in the roasting pan, put the pan on the stove over high heat. Move the pan around every couple of minutes so it's heated evenly. Continue in this way until a brown crust forms on the bottom of the pan and the only liquid in the pan is a layer of shiny liquid fat. Pour out the fat; if you're making gravy, leave 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of the fat in the pan.
  • 5. If you're making gravy, add 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of flour to the fat in the pan and stir over medium heat until it smells toasty, about 3 minutes. Whether making a jus or gravy, add the broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve the juices. Stir in the giblets. Whisk in the butter, if using. Season with salt and pepper.

The gravy was a bit too salty for my taste, but the turkey was cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I used a mixture of butter and olive oil to roast the turkey, and I added some herbs and spices to the cavity. The result was a moist and flavorful turkey that ever

I would recommend using a different recipe. This one was not very good.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but this recipe changed my mind. The turkey was cooked perfectly and the gravy was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

My husband and I made this recipe for our Thanksgiving dinner and it was a hit! The turkey was so moist and flavorful, and the gravy was delicious. We will definitely be making this again next year.
