Learn how to make a delicious and rich Turkey Gravy that is perfect for drizzling over your Thanksgiving turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups turkey drippings or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for richness)
Ingredients:
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light golden brown.
- Gradually whisk in the turkey drippings or broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning if using. Stir in the heavy cream for a richer gravy, if desired. Serve warm over turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
Notes
- If your drippings are very salty, reduce the added salt or use unsalted broth to dilute.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
