INGREDIENTS
  

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, or ghee, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons superfine white rice flour or gluten free flour blend, don’t use a blend with xantham gum
  • 1 ½ cups roasted turkey or chicken drippings, fat drained
  • fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, kept as large pieces
  • 2 ¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Make the roux. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the rice flour and whisk until combined and clumpy. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture turns golden brown and nutty-smelling, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the meat drippings and fresh herbs, if using. Stir to combine, breaking up any drippings that have solidified.
  • Combine and simmer. Pour in 2 ½ cups of the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk, until thickened.
  • Strain the gravy through a sieve into a measuring cup to remove any solids like the herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve. For serving, thin the gravy with more broth until the desired consistency is reached. For storage, refrigerate strained gravy for up to 4 days before reheating with remaining broth.
  • When reheating, avoid the microwave to prevent overcooking or curdling. Opt for the stove on low heat, stirring frequently, and remove it once it simmers.

NOTES

  • To Store. Store this turkey gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
  • To Reheat. Pour the gravy into a small pot over low heat, stirring for even heating. Alternatively, you can microwave it until thoroughly warmed. Add more broth, milk, or water if needed to get the right consistency. Transform your leftovers by using the separated gravy in place of jarred or mix-based gravy in other recipes.
  • To Freeze. Gravy can be frozen like any other liquid. Ensure it cools completely before transferring it into airtight containers or freezer bags. When stored correctly, it should last for 3-6 months.
