How to Make Turkey Pan Gravy

  1. Remove pan drippings from your roasting pan, leaving behind excess fat. Place the pan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
  3. Add pan drippings to the pan. If you have less than 2 cups of drippings, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Gradually whisk in the flour slurry, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk constantly.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and use a hand blender to create an ultra-smooth texture (optional). Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
