Gravy Ingredients

Method

Gravy Preparation

  1. 1

    Collect Drippings

    After roasting the turkey, pour the drippings into a measuring cup. Allow the fat to rise to the top and skim off excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Make a Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add the drippings and heat until warm. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add Broth

    Slowly pour in the broth while continuing to whisk. This will prevent lumps from forming.

  4. 4

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
