Method
Cooking White Rice
- 1
Rinse Rice
Begin by rinsing the white rice under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Boil Water
In a large pot, add 8 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

Prepare Drippings
If using drippings from a roasted turkey, pour the drippings into a measuring cup and allow them to settle. Skim off excess fat, reserving about 2 cups of drippings.

Make Roux
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.

Add Broth and Drippings
Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth and the reserved turkey drippings, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Season the Gravy
Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the gravy. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until the gravy thickens.

Adjust Consistency
If the gravy is too thick, add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
