Drippings based Turkey gravy.
Classic Thanksgiving Gravy Ingredients: Drippings from roasted turkey (pan juices) 4 cups turkey or chicken stock (you can also use vegetable stock) 1/4 cup unsalted butter (if needed for extra fat) 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme) 1/2 teaspoon fresh sage (or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage) Salt and black pepper to taste Optional: 1/4 cup white wine or sherry for added depth Instructions: Collect the Drippings: After roasting your turkey, carefully pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup. Let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the fat to rise to the top. Skim off and reserve about 1/4 cup of the fat. If you don’t have enough fat, add butter to make up the difference. Make the Roux: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the reserved turkey fat (and butter if needed) and whisk in the flour. Stir constantly for about 2–3 minutes, until the roux turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Ad
