How to Make Rich Turkey Gravy
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place 2 lbs turkey wings, 2 stalks celery (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), and 1 large carrot (chopped) in a large roasting pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring twice, until the turkey wings are nicely browned and vegetables are tender.
- Transfer the roasted turkey wings and vegetables from the roasting pan to an 8-quart stockpot.
- Add 4 cups of water and 1 cup of reserved turkey drippings to the stockpot. Bring to a simmer, partially covered, for 2 hours, skimming fat from the surface occasionally.
- Strain the broth, reserving the cooked carrots, onions, and celery. Set aside the solids.
- If necessary, add more water to the broth to reach a total of 4 cups.
- Puree the reserved carrots, onions, and celery using an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth. Add the puree to the stockpot.
- Reduce heat to low.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of the reserved broth until smooth, creating a slurry.
- Whisk the flour slurry into the stockpot along with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or solids. Serve immediately over your favorite Thanksgiving dishes.
