Gravy
- Turkey Drippings
- 3/4 of a cup ofAll Purpose Flour
- After the turkey is done, let it sit in the pan for 20-30 minutes until it is is ready for carving, then take the turkey out of the pan and pour the drippings (juice and fat mixture) from the pan into a large measuring cup.
- The fat will rise to the top. Pour about 1/2 cup of the fat back into the roasting pan and set the pan over two burners on lowest heat. Using a whisk, blend about 3/4 cup of flour into the fat to make a smooth paste. Add some salt and pepper.
- Next mix the juice part and any additional broth you have made (by simmering the giblets and neck with some vegetables, wine, etc.)to make 8 cups.
- Gradually blend the broth mixture into the fat and flour paste (this is called a "roux, by the way). It is important to add the liquid slowly and stir constantly to avoid lumps.
- When it's all blended and smooth, you can increase the heat a bit and simmer the gravy on low until it's ready to serve.
