Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup turkey stock with 1/4 cup flour until flour is dissolved. Set aside.
In a large deep skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup flour. Whisk together until butter has absorbed the flour. Cook for 1 minute.
Whisking constantly, add the turkey stock gradually until fully blended. Whisk in turkey stock-flour mixture in a steady stream. Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and browning sauce.
Increase the heat to medium-high whisking constantly, bring to a boil. Immediately lower the heat to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Add fresh thyme. Mix well. Set aside to cool.
After cooled, place into an airtight container and chill. May be made up to 2 days in advance.
To reheat: Place into a saucepan over low heat. Skim the fat from turkey pan drippings. Add pan drippings 1 Tbsp at a time to thin gravy. Repeat until your desired thickness is reached. Serve warm garnished with additional pepper and thyme, if desired.
