Turkey Gravy Recipe
Learn to make restaurant-worthy Homemade Turkey Gravy - using drippings or broth - with a surprising boost of flavor from soy sauce and fresh lemon juice. It's not the gravy Grandma used to make - it's actually better.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or fatty drippings or a combination
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups broth or stock or non-fatty drippings or a combination (plus additional if needed to thin)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
Instructions
- In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat (if using drippings, just add melted drippings to skillet). Add flour and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until mixture becomes light to medium golden brown, whisking constantly.
- While whisking, slowly add broth or non-fatty drippings until all liquid is incorporated. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until gravy is thickened.
- If gravy is too thick, whisk in a bit more broth or water. If gravy is too thin, cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until desired consistency is achieved.
- Reduce heat to low. Add lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning and whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
