Perfect Gravy

Recipe Source: Lauren Miyashiro

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. butter
• 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1 c. turkey pan drippings
• 2 c. low-sodium chicken broth (or turkey stock)
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp. freshly minced thyme
• 1 tsp. freshly minced sage

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook until golden, 1 minute, then whisk in pan drippings. (If you have more than a cup of drippings, use it and reduce the amount of broth!)
2. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently until slightly thickened.
3. Stir in fresh herbs, then whisk in 1 cup broth and return mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Simmer 10 minutes, gradually adding more broth if gravy is too thick. Adjust seasoning.
