A basic turkey gravy recipe from our forum.

Ingredients:

  • pan drippings
  • flour
  • water

Preparation:

Pour the turkey or chicken pan drippings into a 2 cup measuring cup and skim the fat off. Put about 1/4 cup of the fat into a saucepan and stir in 1/4 cup of flour (all purpose). Add enough water to the drippings (throw the rest of the fat away) to make 2 cups of liquid. Pour the 2 cups of liquid into the flour/fat mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste.
This recipe makes about 2 cups of gravy.

"My first attempt ever at making gravy, I substituted Wondra gravy flour for standard flour. The gravy came out every bit as good as my Mom used to make! Thanks for a great and simple recipe!"
