📝 Preparation Steps
1
Separate fat and juices: After roasting your turkey, pour the pan drippings into a heatproof measuring cup or fat separator. Skim off most of the fat and measure the dark juices (you’ll usually have 1–2 cups). Add enough warm chicken stock to total 4 cups combined liquid (start with less stock if you have plenty of juices).
2
Make the roux: In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the skimmed turkey fat (or butter). Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes, until lightly golden and nutty.
3
Add liquids gradually: Slowly whisk in about 3 cups of the juices/stock mixture, a little at a time, whisking out any lumps. Once smooth and thickened slightly, add more liquid as needed to reach your preferred gravy consistency.
4
Optional wine and herbs: Stir in the sherry or white wine if using, and simmer gently for 2–⏱️ 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh herbs if desired.
5
Finish and serve: If you prefer a perfectly smooth gravy, strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Transfer to a warm gravy boat and serve right away.
