Pan Gravy Recipe
(Makes 5-6 Cups)
Ingredients:
¼ lb butter
½ cup chopped white onion
½ cup flour
4-5 cups chicken or turkey rich stock or broth
Method:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour on the onions, stirring constantly, and cook until flour is golden to brown. Adjust heat so mixture does not burn.
Gradually whisk in 4 cups stock until mixture thickens and is smooth.
If it is too thick, add liquid. Cool, cover and chill.
When ready to serve, reheat mixture over low heat, stirring. Scrape bottom of turkey pan and add drippings or giblets to gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve your pan gravy with an expertly cooked turkey.
