Description

Rich, savory, and silky-smooth, this turkey gravy is the ultimate finishing touch for your holiday feast. Made from the flavorful drippings of a roasted turkey, it brings everything together—mashed potatoes, stuffing, and of course, the turkey itself. No shortcuts here, just honest, homemade goodness.

Ingredients

▢ 1/4 cup turkey drippings (from roasting pan) or unsalted butter
▢ 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
▢ 2–3 cups turkey stock (or chicken stock), warmed
▢ Salt, to taste
▢ Black pepper, to taste
▢ Optional: splash of cream or a dash of soy sauce for depth

Instructions

After roasting your turkey, pour the pan drippings into a bowl. Let them settle, then skim off and reserve 1/4 cup of the fat.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the reserved fat or butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2–3 minutes to form a golden roux.

Gradually add warm turkey stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Start with 2 cups and add more as needed to reach desired consistency.

Simmer for 5–10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream or a touch of soy sauce.
