Brown Turkey Gravy
Savory rich turkey gravy just like grandma used to make.
Servings 10
Ingredients
- 3 c turkey drippings, with the fat skimmed off the top
- 3 Tablespoons corn starch
Instructions
- Skim all the fat off the top of the drippings with a spoon. There will be a small amount left that you can't get, that is fine.
- Place a cup of the hot liquid in a small bowl and the rest in a small saucepan.
- Bring the liquid in the pan to a boil.
- Place the corn starch in the small bowl and whisk until no lumps remain.
- Place a strainer over the top of the boiling liquid and pour the cornstarch slurry through it into the boiling liquid.
- Remove the strainer and whisk the gravy as it cooks.
- Cook and stir for 10-20 minutes. If your liquid gets too thick, add some chicken stock or a few tablespoons of water at a time until it's the consistency you like. If it's too thin, keep cooking it until it's thick enough. Remember to continue to whisk it most of the time it's cooking.
- Taste it and add salt if needed. All of the flavor is in the gravy already from the turkey and it's seasonings so you won't need anything else.
