Easy Turkey Gravy (Video)

As it’s only about one week before Thanksgiving in the U.S., I am sharing a few extra recipes this month.  I really like to prep as much as I can before Thanksgiving, as you can see here and here.  This year is no exception, so here is an easy recipe for turkey gravy that, if you desire, cane be made up to 4 days ahead. 

For this recipe, I used my 2-qt. (1.9-L) Nonstick Sauce Pan.

2-qt. (1.9-L) Nonstick Sauce Pan

A Small Saucepan for Every Kitchen

This 2-qt. (2-L) sauce pan will be your go-to for sauces, melting butter, and reheating soup. The lid has straining holes, so you can use it to drain fat and liquids without dirtying a separate colander. And the pour spout will help you keep your stove, counters, and table drip-free. The high-quality nonstick coating means even gooey, cheesy sauces won’t stick. And when you’re done cooking, pop it in the dishwasher for hassle-free cleanup.

Ingredients

  • Drippings from Roast turkey (or legs, wings, etc.)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • Turkey broth enough to make 3 cups when added to drippings

Instructions

Roast several turkey legs (instructions here).  Alternatively, you could use wings, or whatever turkey parts you have on hand, or wish to use.

Mix softened butter with flour until a paste-like mixture is made.  Set aside.

Strain the drippings, discarding any solids.  Combine with turkey broth to make 3 cups.  Bring to a boil over medium heat in a 2-qt. (1.9 L) saucepan. Add in flour mixture, whisking constantly until combined.  Turn heat to medium-low, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until thickened. 

That’s it!  This is a really simple and easy recipe that anyone can make.  Of course, you can add other seasonings to this, but I wanted to share this as an easy go-to recipe, in case anyone reading this is hosting their first Thanksgiving on their own.
