In today's blog post, we'll be diving into the world of gravy. Making and sharing our go-to turkey gravy recipe for Thanksgiving. Whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. You can also use this recipe with any other meat broths!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup turkey broth or stock (I like to do 1/4 cup of broth & 3/4 cup of any drippings from my roast)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add in the flour and whisk until well combined.
Let this roux cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Slowly pour in the turkey broth/drippings while continuing to whisk the mixture.
Add in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Stir well and let it simmer for a few more minutes until thick and smooth.
Serve hot over slices of roasted turkey and enjoy!
Tips for Success
If you don't have turkey broth, you can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth instead.
For a richer flavor, you can also add in some poultry seasoning or fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary.
Make sure to constantly whisk the roux to prevent lumps from forming.
For more flavor, switch out your plain butter for some of my Garlic Herb Butter
If you want a thicker gravy, use more flour. Just remember to cook it for an extra minute or two to avoid any raw flour taste.
Use this same recipe any time you need to make gravy for your roasts!
