Turkey Gravy
Makes 4 cups
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups chicken or turkey stock*
2 sprigs fresh thyme sprig
Pan drippings from roast turkey
Salt & ground black pepper to taste
How to make:
Start by making a roux with the melted butter and flour and hold to
the side. In a saucepan bring chicken stock or turkey stock, thyme
sprig and pan drippings to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer.
Whisk the reserved roux to simmering stock being careful to get rid
of any lumps. Over low heat, cook the gravy for about 10 minutes
until it has reached the desired thickness.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, strain to remove the thyme
sprig and any unsightly "stuff" from the pan drippings and serve. |
