How to Make Rich Sour Cream Gravy

  1. Pour drippings from the roast poultry into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
  2. Skim off excess fat, reserving 1/4 cup.
  3. Return the reserved 1/4 cup of fat to the roasting pan.
  4. Whisk 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the fat in the pan until smooth.
  5. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly browned.
  6. Stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the juices in the measuring cup.
  8. Add enough water to the measuring cup to reach the 2-cup mark.
  9. Pour the juice mixture into the roasting pan, stirring to combine.
  10. Cook and stir until the gravy has thickened and is bubbly.
  11. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth.
  12. Gradually whisk 1/2 cup of the hot gravy into the sour cream mixture to temper it.
  13. Stir the tempered sour cream mixture into the remaining gravy in the pan.
  14. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until the gravy is bubbly and heated through.
