This homemade turkey gravy is super simple to make with the pan drippings you have after cooking the turkey. It's much better than using a jar or a can. You can adjust the flavor by using turkey or vegetable stock, white wine, or herbs such as rosemary or thyme.
Ingredients
- 2 cups turkey drippings , or as needed
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth , or more as needed
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Separate oil from the liquid in the turkey drippings by pouring the drippings into a clear 4-cup measuring cup. Allow drippings to settle and separate into oil on top and juices on the bottom. Remove 1/4 cup oil using a kitchen syringe; transfer to a saucepan.

Mix flour into oil in the saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat until color changes to a light brown, about 5 minutes. Pour 1 cup of juices from the measuring cup into flour mixture (roux); cook and stir, adding more drippings for a thinner gravy, until gravy is heated through and smooth, about 5 minutes. Mix chicken broth into gravy; cook and stir until heated through, adding more broth for a thinner gravy, about 5 minutes.
