Ingredients
- 1 cup turkey drippings
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken or turkey broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
After roasting the turkey, carefully pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a measuring cup. Let it sit for a few minutes until the fat rises to the top and skim off the fat with a spoon.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the flour to the saucepan, stirring constantly with a whisk to form a roux. Cook the roux for about 2-3 minutes, until it turns a light golden color and has a nutty aroma.
Step 4
Gradually add the turkey drippings and chicken or turkey broth to the roux, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth consistency. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, and fresh sage. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the gravy is rich and smooth. If the gravy is too thick, whisk in a little more broth until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Serve the soy-free turkey gravy hot over sliced turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing.
