Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and cook slightly.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Gradually whisk in the broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in the salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
