But a great meal needs a sauce to bring it all together, and nothing does it like a homemade turkey gravy recipe. It adds richness and a silky-smooth texture to everything on the plate. Having gravy for turkey is an essential way to keep leftovers from going dry, too (especially if you\u2019re recreating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-ross-gellers-moist-maker-sandwich-from-friends\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-ross-gellers-moist-maker-sandwich-from-friends\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Ross Geller\u2019s Thanksgiving sandwich<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>Turkey Gravy Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Drippings<\/strong>: These juices accumulate in the bottom of the pan when you roast meat like turkey. They\u2019re rich and flavorful, but be sure to skim the fat before using them. Otherwise, your gravy can turn out slick and greasy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turkey or chicken broth<\/strong>: Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade turkey stock<\/a> if you have it on hand or any store-bought turkey or chicken broth. Just remember: Turkey gravy tastes best when you start with a flavorful liquid, so use the highest-quality broth you can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roux<\/strong>: We create a roux with all-purpose flour and the skimmed fat from the drippings, transforming it into a smooth paste that will thicken the broth. If you don\u2019t have fat from the drippings, use melted butter, bacon grease or oil.

Try mixing in a little wine, milk or half-and-half to replace some of the broth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it extra creamy<\/strong>: Stir in heavy whipping cream or a few cubes of butter at the end, swirling the pan until the addition is well incorporated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Introduce acidity<\/strong>: Gravy is velvety and rich, so adding an acidic ingredient will cut through the fatty, salty profile. Try adding a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to balance out the flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give it a flavor boost<\/strong>: Sweat some garlic and shallots in the pan before making the roux, or stir in fresh herbs like parsley, sage, rosemary or thyme. Other good additions are minced chipotle pepper, a few drops of liquid smoke or a dash of Worcestershire sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use gravy for other dishes<\/strong>: Learning how to make gravy for turkey is a skill that&#8217;s helpful beyond holiday dinners.
