Notes

  • Turkey drippings will already have seasonings from the turkey, and stock is already salted, unless you bought low-sodium stock. So, you don't want to add salt or pepper until after you finish cooking the gravy and can adjust it to taste.
  • Chicken stock or vegetable stock work as well rather than turkey stock.
  • To get rid of any stubborn clumps, use the back of a spoon to flatten them out and mix them in. You want to dissolve the flour completely before adding the stock.
  • You can use 4 Tablespoons unsalted or salted butter in place of drippings if necessary.
  • It’s important to remove the gravy before it fully thickens as it will continue to cook a bit once removed from the stove.
  • It’s important to keep stirring once you add the stock or it will congeal on the top.
