How to Make Do Ahead White Wine And Sage Turkey Gravy 2007

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a 15.5x10.5 inch jelly-roll pan or large roasting pan, place 2 turkey wings, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 1 cup carrots (chopped).
  3. Roast for 60-70 minutes, or until turkey wings are deep golden brown.
  4. Transfer the wings and vegetables to a 6-quart saucepan. Add 1 quart (4 cups) chicken or turkey broth and 4 cups water. Add 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Place the roasting pan over two burners on the stovetop. Add 1 cup dry white wine to the pan and cook on high heat, scraping up browned bits, for 10 minutes, or until the wine is reduced to ½ cup.
  7. Add the wine mixture to the saucepan with the wings, broth, and vegetables.
  8. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 75 minutes.
  9. Strain the broth into an 8-cup liquid measuring cup. Discard the wings and vegetables. Skim off and discard any excess fat.
  10. If the broth is less than 4 cups, add water to reach 4 cups.
  11. Return the broth to the saucepan.
  12. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  13. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  14. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling broth and cook for 1 minute, or until thickened.
  15. Cool the gravy completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  16. To finish: After roasting your turkey, add strained and skimmed pan juices from the turkey to the prepared gravy, or thin with additional broth. Heat through before serving.
