- 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups drippings from the roast turkey or turkey stock
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pour off all the turkey drippings into a large bowl or liquid measure. Skim off the fat. Return 1/4 cup fat to the roasting pan. Place over medium to medium high heat.
- Sprinkle over flour and whisk to create a paste. Cook 1 minute. Whisk in remaining drippings. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer, whisking to avoid lumps. After gravy boils, it should thicken up nicely.
