Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour divided use
  • 1 32 oz container turkey or chicken stock divided use
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1/2-1 tsp poultry seasoning adjust to your taste
  • 1 tsp browning sauce i.e. Kitchen Bouquet

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.
