Classic Thanksgiving Gravy
Make this delicious gravy with the turkey drippings that collect in the pan of your roasted turkey. It's delicious and so easy to make!
Servings: 16 quarter cup servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter sliced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups turkey drippings from cooked turkey pan or broth
Instructions
- Add butter to a saucepan and melt over medium-low heat.
- Once the butter is melted, mix in the black pepper with a wooden spoon.
- Slowly incorporate the all-purpose flour with a whisk and stir continuously. Whisk for about a minute or until the flour and butter are well combined.
- Pour the pan drippings or chicken stock into the saucepan in small batches as you whisk continuously.
- Continue to stir the gravy with a wooden spoon over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until it reaches a thick liquid consistency. Enjoy immediately or cover and cook on low heat until ready to serve.
Notes
- Stir the gravy continuously as it cooks to avoid buildup at the bottom of the saucepan.
- Stir the gravy until it reaches your desired thickness (stir longer for a thicker consistency or shorter for a thinner consistency).
- If using pan drippings, you may pass the drippings through a strainer and into a bowl to discard any meat or clumps.
- Serve this classic gravy over chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
