Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons reserved drippings turkey or chicken
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 ½ cups low sodium broth turkey or chicken, divided
  • Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce optional and only as needed
  • Fine ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Roasting Pan Instructions (for meat cooked in the oven)

  • Pour off all but about 3 tablespoons of the drippings from the roasting pan and place the roasting pan on the stove over a burner set to MEDIUM. Remove and discard any large deposits of fat or skin from the bottom of the pan.

Saucepan Instructions (for meat prepared in an air fryer)

  • If you cooked your turkey in an air fryer or roasting pan that isn't safe for stovetop use, measure out and transfer the drippings to a medium saucepan and proceed as directed.

Finish the Gravy

  • Add the butter to the drippings and cook over LOW heat until melted, Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with ¼ cup broth. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan and whisk until well combined. Increase the heat to MEDIUM-LOW, pour in an additional 2 cups broth, using the whisk to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the roasting pan (if using). Continue to cook, whisking until thickened, adding as much of the additional broth as needed to thin to desired consistency.
  • If you would like a deeper color to the gravy, whisk in a very small amount of Kitchen Bouquet. Use it sparingly, adding just enough to attain the desired color.

Notes

This recipe yields approximately 2 ½ cups gravy.
