Easy Make-Ahead Turkey Gravy image

I am not very skilled in the gravy department, so when I saw this in the local paper I thought it's worth a try. Well it will be how I make my turkey gravy from now on. Its very simple and quite tasty, and I can say I made it myself. It has a nice color and best of all NO LUMPS!

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken broth or 4 cups turkey broth
salt and pepper
pan drippings from turkey

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour.
  • Cook over medium-high heat until flour is incorporated and white bubbles begin to form on the top of the roux.
  • Cook the roux for 2-3 minute after the white bubbles have formed, whisking constantly.
  • Gradually add the broth, whisking constantly until the gravy is thickened and comes to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
  • At this point, you can cool, cover and refrigerate the gravy base for as long as 4 days. Reheat in a medium-sized pan. When turkey is done, skim off fat and pour drippings into gravy base and bring it to serving temperature.
