Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • measuring cup

Ingredients

  • 1-2 cups turkey drippings
  • 1-2 cups turkey stock
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Pour all of your drippings through a strainer. Dispose of any bits and pieces collected in the strainer. Let the drippings sit in a large measuring cup or bowl for about 10 minutes. Spoon off most of the fat off the top of the drippings. I like to leave about two tablespoons. 
  • Whisk 1/4 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of room temperature turkey stock. 
  • Add sherry to a medium saucepan. Turn the heat on medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half. 
  • Add in enough turkey stock to the drippings to equal 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Add the drippings to the sherry, whisk to combine . Slowly whisk in the the slurry as well. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the gravy is thick, about 5-6 minutes. 
  • Taste the gravy, if it needs more salt and pepper, add more. Keep warm in the saucepan over a low heat.
