I used chicken for my gravy, and I didn’t use celery or carrots. I made a change in the flour also I used gluten free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- Turkey or chicken
- 1/2 cup each of chopped onion, celery, and carrots.
- 1/4 cup fat from the roasting pan
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour(or gluten free)
- juice from the pan
- About 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Prepare the turkey or chicken for roasting. Before placing in the oven, add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots to the roasting pan.
- Roast the bird according to your recipe(I just used a pre roasted chicken)
- Make the giblet broth while the bird roasts.
- When the turkey or chicken is done, remove it to a platter to rest while you make the gravy.
- Pour all the juices into a glass measuring cup. Measure 1/4 cup fat and return it to the roasting pan.
- Measure and reserve the brown liquid. Discard the remaining fat or set it aside to make additional gravy for leftovers.
- Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the vegetables and bake on bits.
- Add flour to the roasting pan.
- Blend the fat and the flour with a wooden spoon, making a thick, smooth mixture.
- Over low heat, let the pan’s contents bubble and cook for 2 minutes. Theirs eliminates the taste of raw flour.
- Slowly whisk in the reserved brown liquid and enough broth to bring the gravy to the consistency you like, about 2 cups of liquid in all.
- Simmer for for barely 5 minutes longer, until the gravy is thick and smooth. season with salt and pepper!
- Enjoy it on any food you’d like!
