Perfect Thanksgiving Gravy
Ingredients
- 4 T Butter
- 5 T Flour
- 4 cups Pan Dripping or Stock or Combination of Both
- 1 T Flat Leaf Parsley chopped
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Pour the pan dripping into a fat separator. Allow it to sit for a few minutes then pass through a strainer. If you do not have 4 cups of liquid add stock to make 4 cups.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; add the flour and stir constantly. Cook until light brown and smells like toast, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the pan drippings while stirring. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook until slightly reduced and gravy has thickened, approximately another 4-6 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste; add parsley.
- Serve with turkey and side dishes.
Notes
TIPS & TRICKS
– This gravy is a little on the thin side. I like it this way so you can put it on top of everything!
– If you wish it to be thicker gravy, simply take 1 tablespoon flour and mix it with 1 tablespoon soft butter until it forms a paste. Add just a marble size piece of the paste to the hot gravy then whisk till combine. Allow the gravy to cook a minute. Continue adding the butter mixture a little at a time until you reach your desired thickness. It should thicken up very quickly so add the mixture slowly. Fall Season, November 2017
