Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth, or more as needed
• 2 cups turkey drippings, or as needed
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2

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.
