Ingredients

  • 2 cups turkey drippings or broth
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Pour turkey drippings into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk flour with a bit of the warm drippings to make a smooth paste.
  3. Slowly whisk the paste back into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Continue whisking over medium heat until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

For thicker gravy, use a bit more flour. For thinner gravy, add more broth. You can also make this ahead and reheat gently.
