Gravy Ingredients
Method
Gravy Directions
Prepare the Base
In a medium saucepan, add the turkey drippings over medium heat. If you do not have enough drippings, you can supplement with additional chicken broth.
Make the Roux
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and bubbly. This will create a roux, which will help thicken the gravy.
Combine Ingredients
Slowly whisk the turkey drippings into the roux, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Add Chicken Broth
Pour in the chicken broth while continuing to whisk. This will help to further thin the gravy to your desired consistency.
Season the Gravy
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh thyme leaves, and Worcestershire sauce to the gravy. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Simmer and Thicken
Allow the gravy to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your liking. If it gets too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth or water.
Final Adjustments
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed. If a richer flavor is desired, you can add more Worcestershire sauce or herbs.
Serve
Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency and flavor, remove from heat and serve warm alongside your roasted turkey and subs.
