Turkey Gravy with Shallots and Mushrooms
- 8 cups Turkey Stock (page 231)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup diced button or crimini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons minced shallot
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- In a large saucepan, reduce the turkey stock over medium-high heat to 3 cups.
- This will take about 30 minutes and will concentrate the turkey flavor.
- Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
- Add the mushrooms and shallots and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Slowly add 1 cup of the reduced turkey stock and whisk until fully combined.
- Add the remaining stock, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened.
- Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, as needed.
- The gravy will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat it gently over medium heat before serving.
