Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups turkey drippings
Instructions
- To begin, you need to capture your turkey drippings. Pour drippings from your turkey pan into a fine mesh strainer to allow them to cool a bit. You’ll see the fat rise to the top and start to solidify. Once this happens, use a spoon to remove the fat. Do this until you have the 4 cups of drippings. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium-low heat, and sprinkle in the black pepper. Slowly add in the flour, constantly whisking to combine (this is where the roux post comes in handy).
- After a few minutes, the flour and butter will be incorporated, making a paste.
- Pour your drippings into the pan, continuing to whisk. Allow the gravy to cook for a few minutes in order to thicken.
- Serve immediately, or keep on very low heat until ready to serve. Enjoy!
