How to Make Nif's Easy Homestyle Gravy
- Strain 5 cups of turkey drippings into a large saucepan, removing any large bits of fat or debris.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Skim off any excess fat that rises to the surface.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour into the drippings until smooth.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. The mixture should be smooth and bubbly.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add additional spices such as poultry seasoning, sage, or thyme, if desired. (Start with 1/2 teaspoon each and add more to taste)
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately alongside your favorite roasted turkey or other dishes. For a richer gravy, you can incorporate a tablespoon of butter or cream before serving.
