Homemade Turkey Gravy Recipe
Do you have not a clue as to how to perfect a turkey gravy recipe? Let us help you out! Here is a simple yet delicious turkey gravy recipe that can certainly wow you, your family members, and your guests this holiday season!
You Will Need:
- ¼ cup of butter
- ¼ cup of flour
- 2 cups of turkey drippings
- a cup of mixed vegetables
Procedure:
Step 1.
After roasting the turkey, collect the drippings that was left in the oven.
Step 2.
Get a sieve with fine mesh and strain the fat drippings and the vegetables into it. Press the vegetables well to make sure that you have gotten all the juice out of it. Once you have gotten all the juice that you need, you can discard the vegetables. You will not be needing it later.
Step 3.
Set the fat aside for a few minutes. This will allow the fat to rise to the top. For those with a gravy separator, you can use this. If not, manually remove the fat on top.
Step 4.
Place the fat into the small saucepan. This must be about ¼ cup. If it did not amount to about ¼ cup, you can add more butter.
Step 5.
The turkey broth must be 2 cups. If not, you can add more and you can also try adding some white wine to boost the flavor of the gravy.
Step 6.
Place pot over medium heat. Pour the fat into it and heat it up until it simmers.
Step 7.
Add the flour to the pot then whisk in order to combine properly.
Step 8.
Cook this for a few minutes in order to remove the raw flour taste of the mixture.
Step 9.
Pour the turkey broth small amounts at a time, whisk it as you do so.
Step 10.
Bring the mixture to simmer as you continue to add and whisk the mixture.
Step 11.
Continue simmering until the broth becomes thicker. This will take about 5 minutes. Set the mixture aside.
Step 12.
Serve it warm together with turkey and potatoes.
- Added tip: You can substitute the ¼ cup of butter with ¼ cup of turkey fat.
