Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan over medium-heat, melt the butter. Add shallots and thyme and saute until the shallots are golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Measure the pan juices, if using, and add enough stock to total 5 cups. Gradually whisk the stock mixture into the butter mixture. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Mix the cider and boil until lightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the Calvados and return the mixture to a boil. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour into a warmed gravy boat and serve with roast turkey.
