By Kcquigley

Simiply Delicious

Ingredients

• Juice from turkey roasting pan (discard giblets, etc.)
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pour pan drippings juice into a glass. Fat will rise to top. Once fat has separated from juice, remove 1/4 cup of fat from top of bowl and pour into a seperate saucepan.

2. Pour remaining pan juices back into roasting pan, leaving fat behind. Over low heat, scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate all crunchy mixture into gravy.

3. Add apple cider to roasting pan and stir. Let mixture simmer.

4. Add flour to saucepan containing fat. Stir for a few minutes until a paste is formed (it's best to use a whisk to eliminate all lumps.). This creates a roux, the French term for gravy.

5. Pour roux into roasting pan, whisking constantly until gravy thickens. Add chicken broth, the cream and whisk until gravy thickens.
