Ingredients
Scale
- drippings from roasted turkey
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups turkey stock
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1–2 Tbsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- To make the gravy, use a large sauce pan and add 1 cup of drippings to the pan.
- Add ½ cup flour to the pan and whisk together until it makes a smooth paste. (At this point, you’ll need to use a little of your own judgement. You want a pasty consistency. If yours seems a little greasy, add more flour).
- When you have found the right consistency, whisk the mixture slowly over the heat as it begins to brown. You are creating a roux.
- Once you get a nice golden brown color, add 4 cups of turkey stock and 1 additional cup of drippings.
- Allow the gravy to cook, whisking constantly for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until thickened.
- At this point, decide for yourself if you like the consistency of the gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add more stock. If gravy is too thin, cook for about 10 minutes. If it’s still thin, add a cornstarch slurry (mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and then add to the gravy). Continue heating until gravy thickens to desired consistency.
- Once your happy with the consistency of your gravy, season with salt and pepper (we added hot sauce to bring out that flavor from our turkey), to taste, and enjoy!
- Store leftover gravy covered, in the refrigerator.
Notes
Don’t hesitate to try adding that hot sauce – – even if you don’t like a lot of spice – it adds just the right amount of kick to this gravy!
