Ingredients

Homemade Gravy

  • 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 cups pan juices (top up with chicken stock if needed)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, if needed

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a small pot over low-medium heat. Whisk in the flour and allow to cook for about a minute or two, while whisking. 
  • Pour in 1/2 cup of the pan juices from Roast Turkey or Roast Chicken and whisk until it forms a paste. Add remaining liquid in 1/2 cup increments, whisking in between, until the gravy is smooth. 
  • Allow to simmer over medium heat until thickened. Take off heat, stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper (if needed). 
    The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

We love making our gravy just before we eat, but you can make it ahead. Just warm it up right before dinner, adding a little extra stock if needed.
