This Easy Turkey Gravy recipe is a must-try for anyone who wants to elevate their meals with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cupfat (turkey drippings or unsalted butter)
  • 1/4 cupall-purpose flour
  • 2to3cups turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoonkosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoononion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoongarlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoondried thyme or poultry seasoning (optional)
  • 1to2teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. If you’re using turkey drippings, begin by pouring them into a measuring cup. Allow the fat to rise to the surface and skim off until you have about 1/4 cup. If you don’t have drippings, simply warm your chicken broth to get it ready.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add your collected fat (or butter if using) and let it melt completely. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Keep whisking for about 2–3 minutes or until the mixture turns golden and develops a nutty aroma, indicating that the flour is toasted and ready for the next step.
  3. Gradually pour in the turkey stock or chicken broth, one cup at a time, while continuously whisking. This ensures that your gravy comes together without forming lumps.
  4. Let the gravy simmer for about 5–7 minutes, stirring often. As it cooks, you will notice it beginning to thicken. At this point, taste your gravy and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  5. If you prefer an ultra-smooth texture, you can strain the gravy through a fine mesh strainer into a serving bowl. This step removes any lumps and results in a perfectly silky gravy.
  6. Let your gravy cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish. Give it a good stir before serving to ensure that it’s beautifully combined. This Easy Turkey Gravy is best served warm over your turkey, fluffy mashed potatoes, or savory stuffing.

Notes

For a more robust flavor, allow the gravy to simmer longer while stirring occasionally.
