Zubereitung von Grpa's Best Homemade Turkey Gravy
- Roast your turkey as usual, reserving the pan drippings.
- Strain the turkey drippings and vegetables through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly on the vegetables to extract all the flavorful juices.
- Discard the strained vegetables.
- Let the drippings sit for 5 minutes to allow the fat to separate.
- If using, separate fat from drippings using a gravy separator. Alternatively, carefully spoon off the top layer of fat into a small saucepan. You should have about 1 cup of fat. If less, supplement with butter/oil to reach 1 cup.
- Measure out 2 cups of the turkey liquid. Add chicken broth if needed to reach 2 cups.
- (Optional) Add 2 tablespoons of dry white wine.
- Heat the turkey fat in the saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste. This creates a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the turkey liquid (or broth), continually whisking to prevent lumps.
- Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Adjust consistency with additional broth until desired thickness is reached.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your liking.
- Remove from heat and set aside. If making ahead, add more broth if needed when reheating.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes and turkey. Enjoy!
