Savory Cider and Thyme Turkey Gravy
- 1 c. hard cider or dry white wine
- 2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 13 c. all-purpose flour
- 6 sprig thyme
- kosher salt
- Pepper
- Strain any pan drippings from your roasted turkey into a fat separator (or measuring cup).
- Let it stand for 5 minutes so the fat rises to the top.
- Leaving the fat behind (or spooning it off if not using a separator), pour the juices at the bottom into a large (4-cup) measuring cup.
- Place the empty turkey roasting pan across two stove burners on medium-high heat.
- Add hard cider or dry white wine and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, for 1 minute.
- Pour the cider mixture into the measuring cup with the pan juices and add enough low-sodium chicken broth to make 4 cups liquid total (you'll need 2 to 3 cups broth).
- Melt unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup all-purpose flour over the top and cook, whisking, until deep brown in color, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the 4 cups liquid; bring to a boil.
- Add thyme sprigs, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Strain just before serving.
