Quick & Easy Turkey Gravy
Discover the secret to smooth, flavorful turkey gravy in just one minute! Perfect for Thanksgiving or any family dinner.
Ingredients:
- Turkey drippings (from the roasted turkey)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups turkey or chicken broth (low-sodium)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Giblets (turkey liver, heart, and gizzard), finely chopped and cooked (if you like a chunkier gravy)
Instructions:
1. Collect Drippings:
- After roasting your turkey, collect the drippings from the roasting pan. You can do this by pouring the contents of the roasting pan into a bowl, letting the fat rise to the top.
2. Skim the Fat:
- Skim off the fat from the top of the drippings. You can use a fat separator or a spoon to do this.
3. Make a Roux:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine about 1/4 cup of the skimmed turkey fat (or substitute with butter) with an equal amount of all-purpose flour to create a roux. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
4. Cook the Roux:
- Cook the roux for a few minutes until it turns a light golden brown. This helps remove the raw taste of the flour.
5. Add Drippings and Broth:
- Gradually whisk in the turkey drippings and turkey or chicken broth into the roux. Continue whisking to avoid lumps.
6. Bring to a Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. This helps the gravy thicken.
7. Add Giblets (Optional):
- If you like a chunkier gravy, add finely chopped and cooked giblets at this point.
8. Season:
- Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that the drippings and broth might already contain salt, so adjust accordingly.
9. Simmer and Stir:
- Allow the gravy to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps it thicken and the flavors to meld.
10. Adjust Consistency:
- If the gravy is too thick, you can add more broth to achieve the desired consistency. If it's too thin, you can let it simmer a bit longer.
11. Strain (Optional):
- If you prefer a smoother gravy, you can strain it to remove any lumps or solid bits.
12. Serve:
- Once the gravy reaches the desired consistency and flavors, remove it from heat and serve alongside your roasted turkey.
