Making the Gravy
Once the turkey is done, remove it from the pan and let it rest. Pour the drippings into a saucepan, adding chicken broth to make 4 cups of liquid. In another pan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add the drippings mixture and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
