Add 1 roasting pan of browned bits and liquid left over from roasting a turkey, deglazed with 1 cup water, scraped to loosen; the gravy will be strained later) and 4 cups turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth. Whisk in roux, taking care to incorporate completely into liquid. Bring to a boil, whisking often, then reduce heat and simmer actively until gravy is thick enough to coat a spoon, 30–⏱️ 45 minutes.

Stir 1 tsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar into gravy if using (if the browned bits in your roasting pan get fairly dark, the vinegar will help brighten and balance those deep savory flavors). Strain gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan; taste and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Keep warm until ready to serve.
