Turkey gravy recipe for OVEN ROASTED Turkey
This is how I make gravy forroastedturkey.
I also usually include a bunch of herbs whatever Im using in the turkey also goes in the pan.
I use 1.5 to 2 cups of white wine or water.
I do not use chicken or turkey broth because I use broth later when making the gravy.
We only need 2 to 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan drippings to make gravy.
You dont need to do this with turkey because its not as fatty.
Add flour and mix, then add chicken or turkey broth.
Simmer to thicken, season to taste with pepper.
Saves having to reheat and also prevents skin forming on top.
Use:
Add the cornflour slurry into the liquid then simmer until thickened to taste.
The steps depicted above for making gravy using pan drippings is the classic way to make gravy.
Then mix in flour and use the slow cooker juices as the broth for the gravy.
The taste is great, its just a visual thing that bothers some people (like me!).
