Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Collect Turkey Drippings

    After roasting your turkey, collect the drippings from the roasting pan. Strain them to remove any solid bits and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt Butter

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

  3. 3

    Make a Roux

    Once the butter is melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is golden brown.

Cooking the Gravy

  1. 4

    Add Turkey Drippings

    Gradually whisk in the turkey drippings into the roux, ensuring there are no lumps.

  2. 5

    Incorporate Broth

    Add the low-sodium chicken broth to the mixture, continuing to whisk until smooth.

  3. 6

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in the soy sauce, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Adjust salt to taste.

  4. 7

    Simmer the Gravy

    Bring the gravy to a simmer, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot as a side for your roasted turkey and subs.
