Turkey Mushroom Gravy

Servings:

I created this mushroom turkey gravy recipe about 15 years ago after making Thanksgiving Day dinner annually since the 1970s. I have tried every kind of turkey gravy and this recipe is everyone's favorite — even the people who hate mushrooms love it! Serve with roasted turkey and cornbread stuffing!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Melt butter in a large stock pot over medium-low heat, and cook mushrooms until they are browned and butter is clear, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove mushrooms, coarsely chop them, and set aside. There should be about 1 cup of butter left in the stock pot; whisk flour into butter, and gently cook over low heat until flour mixture turns a mahogany brown color, about 20 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth; bring mixture to a simmer to thicken stock.
  2. 2 Pour turkey drippings into a saucepan, then cook and stir onions and celery in drippings over medium-low heat until onions begin to turn brown, about 20 minutes. Stir drippings and vegetables into thickened stock. Bring gravy to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes to blend flavors. Stir in chopped mushrooms, then season to taste with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
