Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup flour all purpose
  • 2 cups turkey drippings or broth/stock
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt butter on low-medium heat until bubbly.
  • Sprinkle flour over butter and use whisk to mix together.
  • Add half of the broth and whisk together (still with heat on low-medium) until all lumps are gone.
  • Add the rest of the broth and whisk with heat turned up to medium. Let gravy steam and bubble a bit while whisking to prevent sticking until thickened (5-10 minutes). Makes about 2 cups of gravy.

Notes

  • Add the broth slowly. This makes it easier to get the gravy smooth.
  • Add warm broth to your pan not cold. If it's cold, your gravy is more likely to clump.
  • Don't salt until the end. Taste, and only add salt if needed.
