Easy Turkey Gravy with Drippings
Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups turkey drippings (see notes)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Add 4 tablespoons of butter to a high-sided sauce pan and melt.
- Add in the flour and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add in the turkey drippings and whisk as you add.
- Whisk until smooth and bring to a low simmer.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed (I usually don't need to add any because the drippings and soy sauce already have a good amount of flavor!)
- Allow to simmer for 5 minutes then serve warm.
Notes
Notes:
If you do not have enough drippings, you can add in chicken or turkey broth until you are at 2 cups.
If your gravy is too thin, allow to simmer for a few more minutes while stirring. The gravy will thicken as it sits as well.
If your gravy is too thick, just thin it down by whisking in a little water.
Always taste the gravy before adding salt and pepper. The drippings already contain a good amount of seasoning.
