Equipment

  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup fat from turkey drippings
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup liquid from turkey drippings
  • 2 cups turkey stock
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Heat fat from turkey drippings in a saucepan over medium-low heat until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk flour into fat until golden in color, about 5 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in turkey drippings and turkey stock; increase heat to medium and cook, whisking vigorously, until smooth and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Season gravy to taste with ground black pepper. Serve hot.

Notes

You can season with salt, too, but if your drippings are salty, you may not need additional salt. You can use chicken stock instead of turkey stock if you prefer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a saucepan until hot and smooth. If the gravy thickens too much, whisk in a splash of turkey stock or water to loosen before serving.
