Total Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 50 g butter (2 oz)
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• drippings from turkey (max 1/4 cup) or roast, if you have it (max 1/4 cup)
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• freshly ground pepper
• 1 dash gravy, browning

Recipe

• 1 melt butter in sauce pan until bubbly; add flour and stir well. the roux will be thick.
• 2 add drippings if you have any (not needed, but makes the flavour deeper).
• 3 add chicken broth 1/4 cup at a time and stir well in between addings. before adding the last 1/2 cup make sure that the gravy comes up to a slight boil as it will get thicker and thicker. add the last chicken broth.
• 4 you may find that you need to add more/less chicken broth - it will depend on how thick you want your gravy.
• 5 add salt and pepper to taste - remember to add enough salt to get the full flavour of the gravy out. the 3/4 tsp is what our family likes.
