Anyone want to tell me how to make a yummy turkey gravy?
Permalink Closed

I do NOT want to boil the innard parts (yuck).  I just can't stomach it.  I am willing, however, to make a gravy out of flour and the drippings of the turkey in the pan.  Anyone have a yummy recipe?  Am going to look online too but thought I'd post here as well.

I actually prefer the cornstarch method of thickening - IMO it's easier, and you don't have to worry about any possible raw flour taste.  I just take the drippings and put them in a small saucepan with some broth/stock and/or maybe a little white wine, simmer and reduce a little bit, dissolve some cornstarch in just enough cold water to make it non-clumpy and then whisk it into the gravy.  Done!

I do what Elle does but use arrowroot instead of cornstarch - I find that it has less of a starchy tastes. It also goes totally clear when it's heated, so you won't end up with any cloudiness. You can also add some seasonings - I've been loving fresh thyme lately.

Oh, and I don't bother with a saucepan... just set the roasting pan right on the burner (use 2 if needed). Scrape up all the browned bits from the pan, then strain the gravy before serving.

perfect!  I am going to do a combination of both of these.  I have cornstarch so I'll use that.  Thanks, girls!!  I'm making it tonight.
