This gravy uses the drippings and bits of turkey left in the roasting pan when you roast a turkey. While it’s more work than opening a jar or can of gravy, the resulting rich flavors and creamy texture is worth the small amount of time involved.
Homemade Turkey Gravy from Drippings
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 2 tablespoons Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon Black Pepper
- 15 ounces Chicken Broth
- Drippings from roaster pan after cooking a turkey
Instructions
- Once the turkey has been removed from the roasting pan, pour the drippings + grease into a large measuring cup or bowl
- _The taller the container, the better. This allows for better separation_
- Wait for the fat and drippings to separate (I usually wait 5-10 minutes)
- Use a ladle to remove the fat from the container
- Pour the remaining drippings back into the roasting pan
Finish Gravy:
