How to Make Easy Make Ahead Turkey Gravy
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth and create a roux.
- Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until it is bubbly and light golden brown.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, whisking occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper (or to taste).
- Cool completely, cover, and refrigerate the gravy base for up to 4 days.
- When turkey is done, skim off excess fat from the drippings.
- Pour 1 cup of turkey drippings into the gravy base.
- Reheat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and fully combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
