Homemade Turkey Gravy

Creating your own turkey gravy is easier than you think. With just a few simple steps, you can whip up a rich and flavorful sauce that will enhance any meal. This recipe is perfect for beginners and is inspired by the delicious options available at M&D Enterprises, your local Traeger dealer in Oklahoma.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups turkey drippings or broth
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Once the butter is melted, slowly whisk in the flour. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  3. Gradually add the turkey drippings or broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens, which should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and thyme if desired. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  5. Remove the gravy from heat and serve warm. Enjoy it over turkey, mashed potatoes, or your favorite dish.
  6. Cook Notes and Beginner Tips
  7. Always whisk continuously to avoid lumps in your gravy. If you find lumps, use a blender to smooth it out. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more broth until you reach your desired consistency.
