Ingredients

Main

  • 0.5 cup Turkey drippings or butter (Use 1/2 cup if using drippings; otherwise, add butter to make up the difference)
  • 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth (or turkey or vegetable broth)
  • to taste Salt and Black Pepper (Be generous with seasoning)

Instructions 

  • Pour juices from roasted turkey through a sieve; skim fat and reserve liquid.
  • Place fat or butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, and cook until golden.
  • Gradually whisk in the reserved liquid, simmer until thickened.
  • If too thick, whisk in additional broth; if too thin, add a flour-water paste and simmer.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then serve hot.

Notes

Adjust seasoning to taste and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
