Easy Turkey Gravy

This Turkey Gravy Recipe will become your ‘secret weapon’ this holiday season! It is so easy to prepare and the result is a rich, flavorful gravy perfect over roast turkey. Using a super easy, pre-cooked gravy base/broth along with all those deliciously browned turkey drippings makes the best turkey gravy you have ever tasted! If you’d like to make this extra quick, you can use store bought turkey or chicken broth.

Ingredients :

  • Gravy Base
  • 4 cups turkey broth or stock mixed with drippings
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh herbs parsley, thyme, sage
  • For Thickening
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup cold water or cold broth
  • OR
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup cold water or cold broth

Directions :

  • To Prepare Gravy With Flour
  • Create a slurry by combining ⅔ cup flour with ⅔ cup cold water in a jar. Shake until smooth. Note that you will need ⅓ cup flour for every 2 cups broth.
  • Bring broth (or stock) combined with drippings to a boil. While whisking add the slurry a little bit at a time until the gravy reaches desired consistency. You may not use all of the slurry.
  • Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
  • To Prepare Gravy With Cornstarch
  • Create a slurry by combining cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
  • Bring broth and drippings to a boil over medium high heat. (I cook the gravy right in the turkey roasting pan on my stovetop).
  • While whisking, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into boiling gravy a little bit at a time. Continue adding until gravy reaches desired consistency. You may not need all of the slurry.
  • Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
