How to Make Easy Homemade Gravy

  1. In a medium skillet, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of turkey drippings (or chicken broth for a vegetarian option), ensuring no lumps form.
  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the gravy begins to thicken and bubble (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon Wylers chicken flavored bouillon granules (or 1 chicken bouillon cube, crumbled).
  5. Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
