Chicken Beef Or Turkey Gravy Recipes

HOW TO MAKE BASIC TURKEY (OR CHICKEN) GRAVY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour the turkey or chicken pan drippings into a 2-cup measuring cup or gravy separator and skim the fat off. Alternatively, put the measuring cup in the refrigerator until the fat solidifies on top and can be easily skimmed off.
• Put about 1/4 cup of the fat into a saucepan over medium heat.
• Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour .
• Cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
• Discard any remaining skimmed fat from the drippings. Add enough stock or water to the liquids left in the measuring cup to make 2 cups of liquid. Pour into the flour and fat mixture. Cook, stirring or whisking continuously, until thickened and bubbling. Continue cooking for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately. Enjoy.
