Zubereitung von Kittencal's Easy No Fail Make Anytime Turkey Gravy
- Strain the pan drippings from your roasted turkey through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Let the drippings settle, then carefully skim off and discard any excess fat from the surface.
- Add enough chicken broth or water to the drippings to reach 4 cups total liquid.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of margarine or butter over medium-low heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour + 3 tablespoons, ensuring no lumps form. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in the 4 cups of turkey broth/drippings. Whisk continuously to prevent lumps.
- Continue whisking over medium-low heat until the gravy simmers and thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Serve immediately or keep warm on the lowest heat setting, whisking occasionally to prevent sticking. If making ahead, keep uncovered on the stovetop.
- Leftovers freeze beautifully! For a thinner gravy, reduce the flour by 1 tablespoon.
- **Alternative using only chicken broth:** Use 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder (or omit bouillon for a lighter flavor).
