The Greatest Turkey Gravy Recipe

Gravy Preparation

1. 1

   Collect Turkey Drippings

   After roasting your turkey, collect the drippings from the roasting pan. Pour through a strainer to separate fat from juices. Set aside drippings.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Make Roux

   Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Drippings

   Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey broth, followed by the reserved turkey drippings. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.

5. 5

   Season the Gravy

   Add chopped thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Let the gravy simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until thickened to your desired consistency.

6. 6

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm over turkey or your favorite side dishes.
