How to Make Make Ahead Turkey Gravy
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange turkey wings in a single layer in a large roasting pan.
- Scatter sliced onions evenly over the wings.
- Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until wings are deeply browned.
- Transfer wings and onions to a large (5-6 quart) pot or Dutch oven.
- Add 1 cup of water to the roasting pan; stir vigorously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Pour the resulting liquid into the pot with the wings and onions.
- Add 8 cups of chicken broth, 1 large chopped carrot, and 2 sprigs of thyme to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Remove wings from the pot and set aside on a cutting board.
- (Optional) Remove meat from the wings and save for another use, or discard the wings.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a 3-quart saucepan, pressing firmly on the vegetables to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Skim off and discard any excess fat from the surface of the broth. (Refrigerating the broth overnight before this step will make fat skimming easier.)
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of flour with 2 cups of the strained broth until smooth.
- Bring the remaining broth in the saucepan to a gentle boil.
- Whisk in the flour-broth mixture and boil for 3-4 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened and the flour taste is cooked out.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Serve immediately or freeze for up to 6 months.
