Ingredients

  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper black
  • cups chicken broth 
  • 0.3 cup cooking wine dry white
  • 0.5 cup flour all-purpose
  • teaspoons kosher salt 
  • servings pan juices from the turkey and roasting pan 
  • tablespoons butter unsalted

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • roasting pan

Directions

  1. Strain the pan juices into a fat separator or bowl.
  2. Let stand for 10 minutes. Skim and discard the fat from the surface; set the juices aside.
  3. Place the empty roasting pan over 2 burners over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping to dissolve any bits stuck to the pan, for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the butter and melt.
  6. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Still stirring, slowly add first the broth, then 1 cup of the reserved juices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the gravy has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and season with the salt and pepper. Strain just before serving.* Ingredients too variable for meaningful analysis of nutritional information
