Homemade Turkey Gravy

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1/4 cup

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Turkey drippings

1 cup

Chicken or turkey broth

1 cup

All-purpose flour

1/4 cup

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
2. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the turkey drippings and chicken or turkey broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
6. Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
7. For a smoother texture, strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or solids.
8. Serve the gravy hot over your roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
