This easy turkey gravy is rich and creamy and so simple to make. Just turkey drippings and flour will make this the perfect topping for your holiday sides.
¼cupAll-purpose flour(use cornstarch for gluten-free version)
water(cream or milk can be substituted)
Instructions
Strain the turkey drippings into a medium saucepan.
In a measuring cup, mix ¼ cup flour and just enough water to make a thin paste.
Add ¼ cup turkey drippings into this paste to temper (bringing the temperature up so that when added to hot liquid it will not form lumps).
Once it is smooth and well mixed, whisk it into the remainder of the turkey drippings in the saucepan. Keep the heat at medium and continue whisking until the mixture starts to thicken.
At this point, if the gravy is the consistency you want, just pour it into your gravy boat and serve.
If you would like it a bit thinner or creamier, you can add some of the giblet stock (if you cooked them from the turkey) and, as an option, a little cream or milk.
