Gravy Ingredients

Method

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 1

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Carrots and Green Beans

    Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices. Trim the ends of the green beans. Steam the carrots and green beans together for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Set aside.

Preparing the Gravy

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.

  2. 4

    Add Broth

    Gradually add the chicken broth to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in the salt, black pepper, and thyme. Let the gravy simmer for a few more minutes, then remove from heat.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Serve

    On a large serving platter, layer the sliced turkey first. Arrange the cooked potatoes, carrots, and green beans around the turkey. Pour the gravy generously over the turkey and vegetables before serving.
