Turkey Gravy from Drippings

🥄 Ingredients

• drippings from roasted turkey
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth ((or turkey stock))
• kosher salt and black pepper, (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Carefully pour the turkey drippings from the roasting pan through a strainer and into a large glass container or two. Place it in the fridge for 15 minutes to let the fat rise to the top and solidify.

2. 2

   Remove the drippings from the fridge, scoop out 2 tablespoons of the fat, and discard the remaining fat or transfer it to a storage container to use later. (See Notes below if you don't end up with 2 tablespoons of fat.) You should now have only the liquid turkey drippings remaining.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of reserved fat and the all-purpose flour until smooth. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until bubbly and light to golden brown.

4. 4

   Whisk in 1 cup of the turkey drippings and the chicken broth until completely smooth. (See Notes below if you don't end up with 1 cup of turkey drippings.)Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the gravy has thickened to your liking. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
