Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup turkey drippings
1/2 cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour
and water until smooth. Set aside.
Melt the butter and oil in a large saucepan
over medium heat. Add the turkey drippings and cook for 1 minute, stirring
occasionally.
Slowly whisk in the flour mixture until
combined. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until
the gravy is smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5
minutes, or until thickened.
Season the gravy with salt and pepper to
taste.
Serve the gravy hot with your favorite
Thanksgiving dishes.
Tips:
If your gravy is too thick, add more chicken
broth or water.
If your gravy is too thin, cook it for a few
more minutes until it thickens.
You can use chicken broth or turkey broth
for this recipe.
For a richer gravy, use butter instead of
oil.
To make a less greasy gravy, skim the fat
off the top of the turkey drippings before using them in the recipe.
Enjoy!
