0.3 cup cooking wine dry white (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
0.5 cup flour all-purpose
8 servings kosher salt and pepper
2.5 cups chicken broth low-sodium
8 servings pan drippings from classic roast turkey
12 sprigs thyme leaves
4 tablespoons butter unsalted
Equipment
frying pan
roasting pan
measuring cup
Directions
Strain the pan drippings into a fat separator or large measuring cup.
Let stand for 10 minutes. Skim and discard the fat from the surface.
Place the empty roasting pan over 2 burners over medium-high heat.
Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes, stirring and scraping to dissolve any bits stuck to the pan.
Remove from heat and pour into the cup with the pan juices. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Still stirring, slowly add the broth, then the reserved pan juices and sprigs of thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
