Foolproof Gravy

By

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) turkey drippings (fat and juices from roasted turkey)
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (500 mL) liquid (juices from roasted turkey, broth, water)
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper

Preparation

Step 1

•Pour drippings from roasting pan into bowl, leaving brown particles in pan. Return 1/4 cup (50 mL) drippings to roasting pan. (Measure accurately because too little fat makes gravy lumpy.) Stir in flour. (Measure accurately so gravy is not greasy.)
•Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in liquid. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in salt and pepper.
