Preparation

Step 1

Place your roasting pan with pan drippings over 2 burners on medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, until the flour flavor is cooked out and it turns a light golden color. Add in the turkey stock and reserved ancho chili water while continuously whisking. Add the bundle of thyme and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove the thyme bundle, check for seasoning then strain and serve.

Tips
- Use a slotted spoon to remove any large burnt pieces from the bottom of the roasting pan and discard.
- Use equal parts of fat and flour.
- Slowly add your stock to eliminate lumps.
