How to Make Guiltless Turkey Gravy

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring 2 cups of low-sodium turkey stock and 1 cup of pan drippings (from your roasted turkey) to a gentle boil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of cold water until completely smooth and lump-free.
  3. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling stock and pan drippings. Continue whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and season generously with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a dash of poultry seasoning or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
  5. Serve immediately over your favorite roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
