Turkey Gravy for Roasted Turkey

Step 1: Set the roasting pan over medium heat on the stovetop. A single burner is fine, though it is ideal if the pan fits across two. Leave the garlic, onion, and other flavorings in the pan.

Step 2: When the drippings start sizzling or bubbling, add the flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 3: Gradually pour in the chicken broth, mixing constantly. Once it is all added, the gravy should be lump-free. If needed, whisk around the onion and other flavorings.

Step 4: Simmer until the gravy thickens to your liking; it will thicken more as it cools. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste at the end.

Step 5: Strain the gravy into a bowl, pressing the juices out of the onion, garlic, and other flavorings, then discard them.

Step 6: Pour the gravy into a jug and serve with turkey. To keep it warm, store it in a thermos.
