Sage Gravy

• Reserved drippings
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon dried whole-leaf sage, crumbled
• 1/3 cup Chablis or other dry white wine
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces

1. Add onion and next 3 ingredients to drippings in skillet.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until onion is tender. Add wine; bring to a boil, and cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
3. Add broth, and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in half-and-half.
4. Return to a boil; cook until slightly thickened.
5. Pour mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard vegetables. Return mixture to skillet. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add butter pieces, 1 at a time, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. (If butter is difficult to work into gravy, place skillet over low heat for a few seconds, being careful not to get mixture too hot.)
