Turkey Gravy Recipe - 15 minutes from scratch!

Wait, you’re still using that jarred stuff? Time to kick it to the curb! Homemade gravy not only elevates your mashed potatoes, but it brings a glorious smile to your turkey. Trust me, it’s time to roll those sleeves up and get to work!

Delicious Turkey Gravy ### Ingredients

4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups turkey drippings (or chicken broth if you’re a rebel)
1 cup water (for a little extra magic)
Salt and pepper to taste (because bland is not a flavor!)

Instructions

First, let’s melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Feel free to make a “yay for butter” dance while you wait!
Once it’s all melty, sprinkle in the flour. Whisk it together until it creates a smooth paste, or as we like to call it, a roux. Keep whisking until it’s golden brown — about 2 minutes. Smell that? That’s the scent of happiness.
Now, slowly pour in those glorious turkey drippings. Don’t just dump it all at once! Be gentle, like approaching a sleeping cat. Whisk away until it’s fully incorporated.
Add the water and keep whisking until the mixture thickens! You want it to coat the back of a spoon. Remember, no one likes a watery gravy!
Finally, give it a taste. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper like you’re a seasoning ninja. Adjust until it’s simply irresistible!

And there you have it, folks! In just 15 minutes, you can go from “I wish I could make gravy” to “Look what I just whipped up!” Now, slather that sauce on everything! Your turkey will thank you, your mashed potatoes will cheer, and you, my friend, will bask in the glory of your homemade creation!
