Need gravy, and fast?

Thats when I first witnessed her kitchen prowess as she turned three ingredients into gravy.

Since she couldnt use burnt turkey pieces for gravy, she had to problem-solve.

Her first step was melting a bunch of butter in a pot.

Next, she added an equal amount of flour and cooked it until it was deeply golden and aromatic.

The last step was adding chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer to thicken things up before serving.

She garnished hers with fresh herbs she had from roasting the turkey, and everyone raved.

Alternatively, you’re able to use 2 cups of chicken or turkey broth.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat.

Once melted, add the flour and whisk until the roux reaches a smooth consistency.

Gradually add the soup base mixture or broth, whisking to combine.

Bring to a simmer and cook to allow the flavor to develop, about 10 minutes.

Taste for seasoning, then serve.
