3/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought turkey or chicken stock

Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Pour through a fine sieve into a warmed gravy boat.

Tips for Making the Best White Gravy:

  • Use a good quality meat drippings or broth. The better the quality of the drippings or broth, the better the gravy will be.
  • Make sure the roux is cooked until it is a light golden brown. A dark roux will give the gravy a bitter taste.
  • Add the milk or cream slowly, whisking constantly, to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Serve the gravy hot over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes, chicken fried steak, or biscuits.
