Turkey Gravy

These are the basic for how to make turkey gravy.  Nothing could be simpler, yet we all forget how to make gravy.

  • Turkey giblets
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • (Later) pan drippings

 

METHOD

 

Take the giblets (neck, gizzard, heart, liver) and rinse under cold water. Place in a saucepan with 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a mild simmer. Simmer for one hour. After an hour, turn off heat. Leave covered until ready for use.

Make gravy in pan in which turkey was roasted. Begin by skimming off fat, being sure to save sediments and broth to be set aside.

Reserve 1/2 cup fat. Remove giblets from saucepan and discard. Return reserved fat to roasting pan.

Measure drippings and enough broth from giblets to make 6 cups and set aside.

Place roasting pan with fat over medium heat and blend in flour, stirring and cooking until bubbly.

Stirring all the while, Add measured broth and drippings to mixture in roasting pan and cook, stirring all the while, until thickened,. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
