Turkey Gravy

Pour the turkey drippings into a 2-cup measuring cup. Skim the fat, reserving 2 tablespoons and discarding the rest.

You'll need 2 cups of liquid to make this turkey gravy recipe. If your drippings fall short, add turkey or chicken broth to the measuring cup until it reaches the 2-cup mark.

In a small saucepan, mix the flour with the reserved fat from the turkey drippings, stirring until smooth. Gradually stir in the drippings mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about two minutes. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Editor’s Tip: If your gravy turns out lumpy, try pressing it through a fine mesh strainer or using an immersion blender to whip out any clumps. If you don't mind a little texture, you can always add cooked chopped giblets to the pan to make turkey giblet gravy.
