Simple Turkey Gravy Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 large shallot

  minced
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme

  rosemary or flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• turkey drippings
• 3 cups chicken stock

  or turkey stock
• salt and pepper

  to taste

Instructions

• 1 Using a fat separator or a large measuring cup, pour in the turkey drippings and
  let it rest until the fat comes to the top. Spoon off most of the fat and
  discard or pour from the fat separator which will do this for you. Add enough
  stock to the measuring cup to equal 4 cups of stock and drippings combined.
• 2 Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then add the shallots and
  herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are soft. Sprinkle in
  the flour and stir with a whisk to combine.
• 3 Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture is dark brown and fragrant. Then,
  while whisking, slowly pour in the stock. Bring to a boil over high heat,
  continuing to whisk occasionally; this helps ensure no lumps. Reduce the heat
  and continue to cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until the gravy is as
  thick as you prefer.
• 4 Once the gravy is thick, serve it immediately or keep it over very low heat
  until you are ready to serve. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
