Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 5 cups giblet stock, low-sodium turkey stock, or low-sodium chicken stock, plus more as needed
- gravy browning sauce, optional, to taste
- kosher salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Step 1 –In a skillet over medium-low heat, add the butter and cook, constantly stirring, until melted and beginning to foam, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2 –Sprinkle the flour into the melted butter and stir until smooth and well blended, about 5 minutes.
Step 3 –Cook the flour mixture, while stirring, for about 2-3 minutes to form a roux. Be careful not to burn the roux.
Step 4 –Gradually stir the stock into the flour mixture/roux, stirring until well blended.
Step 5 –Cook the broth mixture, stirring constantly, until the gravy begins to bubble and thicken.
Step 6 –If the gravy is too thin, in a small bowl, combine a few tablespoons of the flour with the same amount of cold water and stir until a smooth paste has formed. Very slowly stir the flour mixture into the boiling gravy until it reaches your preferred thickness. If the gravy is too thick, thin with more broth or water.
Step 7 –Add the browning sauce, a little at a time, until a rich brown color is achieved.
Step 8 –Taste the gravy and season with the salt and the pepper.
Step 9 –Pour the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a gravy boat.
Step 10 –Serve.
