Who doesn’t love gravy over meat and potatoes? That luscious depth of flavor that pushes your meal to a next level experience. Now that the holidays are knocking on our doors, we’re busy compiling our Thanksgiving and Christmas menus to provide a scrumptious feast. This gravy recipe is only 15 minutes until you and the family are able to dig in and enjoy!
Here is a flavorful recipe for preparing gravy:
Ingredients
-3 tbsp. butter/fat from chicken or turkey
-1 cup chicken/turkey drippings
-Sprig of thyme
-Sprig of rosemary
-Few leaves sage
-1 cup of chicken/turkey stock
-Salt and pepper to taste
How To Prepare
Heat butter over medium heat until it begins to sizzle or separate the fat from the drippings and use that instead. Using the fat will create such a masterpiece of a meal, you’ll use it every time!
Add flour and whisk until it becomes golden. Next add the drippings. If you were able to render more than a cup, use that to replace the stock since the drippings are filled with flavor.
Bring to a boil and bring to a simmer until the gravy starts to thicken. Add the fresh herbs salt and pepper and if you need to use stock, add it. Continue to simmer for 5-7 more minutes checking the consistency and thickness. Remove from heat, once the desired thickness has been reached. Use an immersion blender to blend the herbs in the gravy or strain it if you like it smoother. Enjoy!
