Broth Options:
You should be able to find turkey broth at your local supermarket. If you can’t, feel free to use chicken broth. You’ll add the broth to your turkey drippings to make the total amount needed.
What Is The Trick To Making The Best Gravy?
It’s all about starting with those delicious turkey drippings. Use a small whisk to scrape it from the bottom of the pan, and use a bit of broth to help loosen any stuck-on pieces. You’ll have to also decide whether or not to strain the drippings before adding the rest of the ingredients. We personally like to strain ours, as instructed in the video below. If you like to have small bits and pieces of browned turkey in yours, you can skip the draining step!
Butter Substitute:
We highly recommend using real butter. If you are lactose intolerant or do not consume dairy, you can always substitute with lard or a neutral flavored oil.
Flour Substitute:
If you do not consume gluten you can substitute cornstarch 1:1 for gravy. Flour does hold up a bit better in this recipe, but go with what works for your diet.
Can I Freeze Turkey Gravy?
Yes! Once it has completely cooled, place it in a freezer-safe airtight container, where it will keep for 4-6 months. To reheat, allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge and warm it up in the microwave as instructed below. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious gravy recipes:
