  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • Drippings from roasted turkey
  • 3 cups liquid (turkey juices, canned chicken broth or water)
  • 1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • Browning sauce, if desired
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Dash pepper

Steps

  • 1
    After removing turkey from roasting pan, pour drippings (turkey juices and fat) into bowl or glass measuring cup, leaving brown bits in pan. Let drippings stand 5 minutes to allow fat to rise. Skim 6 tablespoons fat from top of drippings and return to pan; discard any remaining fat. Add enough broth or water to remaining drippings to measure 3 cups; reserve.
  • 2
    Stir flour into fat in pan, using wire whisk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping up brown bits, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat.
  • 3
    Gradually stir in reserved 3 cups drippings. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute or until gravy thickens. Stir in a few drops of browning sauce if a darker color is desired. Stir in salt and pepper.

  • Substitute Gold Medal Wondra® quick-mixing flour for the all-purpose flour.
  • Substitute Bisquick mix for the all-purpose flour.
  • White wine, dry sherry or Madeira wine adds a wonderful flavor to gravy. Replace half of liquid with your choice of wine.
  • The trick to smooth, creamy gravy is to use a wire whisk when adding the flour to the drippings, beating rapidly until smooth.
  • For added flavor, use vegetable cooking water, tomato juice or vegetable juice as part of the liquid.
