Steps
After roasting your turkey, pour 1/4 cup of drippings into a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of flour and whisk continuously until it forms a smooth paste, about 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in 2 cups of chicken or turkey broth while whisking constantly. Continue whisking to avoid lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the gravy reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat. Pour it into a gravy boat and serve it warm over sliced turkey, mashed potatoes, or your favorite Thanksgiving sides.
