Kittencal's Easy No-Fail Make Anytime Turkey Gravy image

I have been using this recipe for many years, my family loves this gravy and I have served it to dinner guests over the holidays and always receive rave reviews! --- you don't need to make this gravy using all pan drippings, if you do not have 4 cups of drippings you may mix with chicken broth to make the 4 cups, or it may be made with only chicken broth, please see note on the bottom of the recipe--- this may be made slightly ahead and kept uncovered on top of the stove until ready to serve, just whisk before using If you have any left over this gravy freezes very well or you may reduce all ingredients down to half and for a thinner gravy reduce flour by 1 tablespoon --- also see my recipe#314890 for more of my recipes visit www.kittencalskitchen.com

Tips for Making the Best Turkey Gravy:

  • Use a roasting pan with a rack. This will allow the turkey to cook evenly and prevent the drippings from burning.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature (450°F) for the first 30 minutes. This will help to brown the turkey and create a flavorful gravy.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue to roast the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Remove the turkey from the roasting pan and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a saucepan. Skim off any excess fat and bring the drippings to a simmer.
  • Add flour to the drippings and whisk until a roux is formed. A roux is a mixture of flour and fat that is used to thicken sauces and gravies.
  • Gradually whisk in milk or broth until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
  • Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
  • Serve the gravy hot over turkey, mashed potatoes, or other dishes.
