The BEST Savory Herb Turkey Gravy
Just look at this heavenly creation! Who knew a simple sauce could look so good?
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups turkey broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Optional: drippings from the roasted turkey
Instructions:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is bubbling and joyful, sprinkle in the flour. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux, which is just a fancy way of saying we’re making a thicker gravy base.
- Slowly whisk in the turkey broth, ensuring you don’t have any lumps lurking about—nobody likes a lumpy gravy!
- Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until everything is warmly cozy and combined.
- If you’re feeling adventurous and happen to have some turkey drippings, splash them in now for an extra layer of flavor! Stir it all together and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Give it a taste to see if it needs a pinch more salt or pepper.
- Once your gravy has thickened and perked up, remove it from the heat. It’s ready to flow generously over your turkey, mashed potatoes, or that perfectly roasted veggie side!
There you have it—a gravy that’s sure to impress. Let your Thanksgiving spread shine and watch as everyone takes extra servings to soak up all that flavor. It may just become the highlight of your holiday table! Enjoy!
