This is bad news but a great opportunity to make your own gravy — it’s really easy:
- Pour your turkey drippings into a large measuring cup, let is cool.
- Spoon off all that congealed fat from the top – takes like 15 seconds.
- Throw in like 2-3 cups of chicken or turkey stock
- In your turkey pan, throw in some butter and cook it on medium/high heat, scrap off those little burnt chunks and mix it with that butter.
- Add 1/4 cup of flour to make a roux — whisk it while it cooks to form a dark brown color.
- Add your stock/dripping mixture and whisk it all up.
- Boil it while stirring, reduce once boiling to medium and stir.
- Done! Congrats — you just made gravy.
