How To Make Gravy For Thanksgiving

Ingredients:

1 Package neck, heart, gizzard from TURKEY giblets

1 Medium carrot, thickly sliced

1 Medium onion, thickly sliced

1 Medium celery rib, thickly sliced

1/2 Teaspoon salt

3 Tablespoons fat from turkey drippings

3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 Teaspoon salt

To Taste freshly ground pepper

  • In a 3-quart saucepan, over high heat, place neck, heart, gizzard, vegetables and 1/2 teaspoon salt in enough cold water to cover. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 60 minutes, skimming any foam from the top.
  • Strain broth into a large bowl; cover and reserve broth in the refrigerator.
  • To make gravy, remove cooked turkey and roasting rack from the roasting pan. Strain poultry drippings through a sieve into a 4-cup measuring cup.
  • Add 1 cup giblet broth to the roasting pan and stir until the crusty brown bits are loosened; pour the deglazed liquid/broth into cup with drippings. Let the mixture stand a few minutes, until the fat rises to the top.
  • Over medium heat, spoon 3 tablespoons fat from the poultry drippings into a 2-quart saucepan. Whisk flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the heated fat and continue to cook and stir until the flour turns golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, skim and discard any fat remaining on top of the poultry drippings. Add remaining broth and enough water to the poultry drippings to equal 3-1/2 cups.
  • Gradually whisk in warm poultry drippings/broth mixture. Cook and stir, until gravy simmers and is slighty thick. Season to taste.
  • Provides 14 servings at 1/4 cup per portion.
