Turkey
Gravy |
The pan drippings
will probably have too much fat. You shouldn’t need more than
about a quarter cup. Carefully pour off the excess fat, so as not
to lose the flavorful juices. Mix up about a half cup of flour with
about a cup of water to add to the drippings. Also, have ready about
2 cups of water and a can of chicken broth. Add the flour and water
mixture over heat, stirring to loosen stuck on bits, then as the
mixture will start to thicken quickly, pour in the water and stir
and continue to loosen any bits still on the roasting pan. Let gravy
simmer for a little while and add chicken broth and/or water to
the desired consistency. Now pour through strainer into a large
saucepan, taste and adjust seasoning. If it’s not thick enough,
make up some more flour and water, pour through a strainer and stir
and simmer. This should yield 3 - 4 cups of gravy. Adjust quantities
for a really large turkey.
