How to Make Savory Turkey Gravy With Mushrooms And Onions

  1. While your turkey roasts, prepare the giblet stock (recipe #77787).
  2. Once the turkey is cooked, transfer it to a large platter to rest.
  3. Carefully pour the pan juices into a fat separator. Let stand for 10 minutes to separate fat from drippings.
  4. Strain the giblet stock, discarding any solids. Return the clear stock to a saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  5. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the roasting pan. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms until onions are lightly browned.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of dry port into the pan and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom and sides with a wooden spoon.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup cold water to create a smooth slurry.
  9. Gradually whisk the slurry into the roasting pan, stirring constantly.
  10. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of warm giblet stock (or chicken stock).
  11. Increase heat to medium-high and stir continuously.
  12. Add the dark drippings (reserve the fat) from the fat separator to the roasting pan.
  13. Discard the separated fat from the fat separator.
  14. Stir in 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary.
  15. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  16. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  17. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
