Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously to form a smooth paste (roux).

  3. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, until it turns a light golden color, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

  4. Slowly pour in the turkey or chicken broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

  5. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  6. If you have pan drippings from a roasted turkey, add them to the gravy and whisk to combine.

  7. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

  9. Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes to thicken and let flavors meld, stirring occasionally.

  10. Adjust consistency by adding more broth or water if too thick, or simmer longer if too thin.

  11. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

  12. Transfer to an airtight container or jars and refrigerate until needed.

  13. To serve, reheat gently on the stove, stirring occasionally.

  14. If thickened after refrigeration, stir in a little extra broth or water to loosen.

  15. Pour over roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, or other dishes.
