How to Make Tomato Pesto Gravy

  1. Strain the pan juices from your roasted meat into a large heatproof jug.
  2. Skim off as much fat as possible from the surface of the pan juices using a metal spoon.
  3. Place the roasting pan over medium heat.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir with a fork for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture bubbles and forms a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 125ml dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a boil.
  6. Gradually whisk in the remaining wine (125ml total), the strained pan juices, and 150ml of chicken or lamb stock. Stir with a wooden spoon until completely smooth.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to the consistency of thin cream.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons of your favorite pesto (adjust to taste).
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Pour the gravy into a warmed gravy boat and serve immediately alongside your roasted turkey or lamb.
